Chesterton Elementary is participating in a fitness program sponsored by the San Diego Padres. The San Diego Padres allocated funding to purchase the equipment for the program. Our P.E. teacher, Mr. Chavira, organized the activities in which students would participate. Every morning a grade level participates in a rotation of ten activities each lasting two minutes within a 30-minute time frame. Volunteer parents help teachers manage stations. The San Diego Padres Friar visited while our second graders were taking their turn. The event was filmed and was broadcasted on the jumbo screen at Petco Park during one of the Padres’ home games in 2007.
