AAPER Cross-Country Run

By:

Austin Association for Physical Educaiton and Recreation had its 39th Youth Annual Cross-Country Run!

Bryker Woods has annually participated in the run.  As a school, much smaller than surrounding AISD schools (enrollment is 399), our school had 10-12 participants and was 2nd place for most participants!  Not only did we have a good turnout of participants, but they came out in very cold and rainy weather, limiting participation for many schools!

 

WINNING STATS 

5th grade: 2 ribbons

4th grade: 2 ribbons

1st grade: 2 ribbons

Kinder: 1 - 1st place trophy! and 1 ribbon

 

AAPER

In Austin, physical education teachers have created Austin Association for Physical Education and Recreation (AAPER) to:

• To provide a quality physical education experience for ALL children of Austin.
• To work in partnership with AISD in developing, aligning and implementing quality Physical Education programs.
• To keep teachers on the cutting-edge of current knowledge and instructional practices in Physical Education.
• To encourage the community to embrace a physically active lifestyle.

Thirty-nine years ago, two PE teachers came up with the idea that we should let the kids run.  Not make them run or tell them they have to run.  Just let them run.  These wise men thought to keep the cost down and let them run through the leaves, run by the lake, run for fun, run to compete, run for the first time, or just run to run.  We invite you to continue the tradition started by two of our visionary teachers.
