P.E. Makeups!
Remember, if you miss a day, you must complete either a cardio or activity makeup assignment in order to receive credit for the day. If you forgot the instructions for makeups, they are posted on the white board in front of the boy's locker room, in the locker rooms, in the P.E. handbook, AND on this website under Webfiles/Makeup Work.
