This School Lets Students Earn PE Credit by Doing Yard Work for the Elderly and People With Disabilities

June 13, 2019 By Mike Thurstone

When it comes to standard in regards to pupils’ physical education credits, this southern Iowa alternative school is introducing a change.

Though some pupils throughout the country have made PE credits together with extracurricular activities like sports and marching band, the Alternative Learning Center is providing pupils the choice to do something different: garden work.

The college offers courses away from the traditional high school setting.

According to KWWL, component of this school’s program is picking actions to count toward PE credits. This season, some pupils are helping individuals in the community that can’t do lawn work themselves.

Teacher Tim Hitzler stated he and his students would soon be raking leaves, pulling weeds, cutting grass, and some other jobs that may have to get completed.

He said he wished to bring this kind of activity instead of the end-of-the-year works since it helps both the students and the neighborhood.
