Just what is the purpose of the PE Central Challenge anyway? Well, we thought we knew, then we asked some of the 4th and 5th grade children involved in the Challenge to write down what they thought it was. Here are some of their answers. Thanks to Shawn Fortner at Back Creek Elementary as she distributed these assessments.
