Arizona Daily Star, May 26

Sierra, at 5801 S. Del Moral Blvd., incorporated skateboarding into a physical-education class this semester, and next school year Lauffer, Apollo, Challenger and Chaparral, the other four middle schools in the Sunnyside Unified School District, will offer the class.

New physical activities such as in-line skating, climbing a rock wall, line dancing, Pilates yoga and step aerobics are offered at the middle schools, along with classes on nutrition and healthy lifestyles in a program called Partners for Healthy Active Adolescents.
