• Step Aerobics
• Hula-Hoop and Jump Rope
• Weight Lifting with Dumbbells
• Sit-ups and Push-ups
• Jogging and Running
• Stretching and Rest Station

The date to turn in donations is Wednesday, February 20th. All donation money should be turned into students' first period teachers. Checks should be made out to: Long Beach Education Foundation (or LBEF). The drawing for raffle prizes will be held on Friday, March 8th. Good luck and congratulations to all who will participate!
