My favorite exercise or physical activity is football because you can hit people or run the ball down the field.
Matt Baldwin, 7th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks
My favorite exercise or physical activity is swimming because you can get cooled down on a hot summer day.
Matthew Moore, 7th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks
My favorite exercise or physical activity is soccer because it’s really good for you with all the running that is required. Running is good exercise too! If you play soccer it will get you in shape. Soccer is also a sport to have a lot of fun. Soccer is played all over the world and is the biggest sport in the world too!
Nicholas Kimberlin, 7th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks
My favorite exercise or physical activity is running because it helps with stress. I like running through fields and wooded trails better than tracks. I have no clue why it helps me with stress, it just does.
Payton Eldridge, 7th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks
My favorite exercise or physical activity is volleyball because I can run enough to get in my exercise, but I don’t run too much to where I’m out of breath.
Preslei Chance, 7th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks
My favorite exercise or physical activity is swimming because it’s fun and relaxing. Swimming can be really relaxing to some people because of the cool water. Swimming can also be fun; there are many games you can play with friends.
Raven Burgan, 7th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks
My favorite exercise or physical activity is playing soccer because you can do almost anything you want as long as you don’t kick someone in the upper body. You will get kicked in the ankles a lot though. Some do it on purpose and some do it on accident. That’s a good way to steal the ball. When I get kicked in the ankle I let go of the ball; it’s an automatic reaction.
Reece Cook, 7th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks
My favorite exercise or physical activity is working out because it’s fun and it keeps me in shape. Working out takes away time really fast.
Riley Brock, 7th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks
My favorite exercise or physical activity is playing football. It has to be backyard football or I’ll get flagged for many things such as holding, pass interference, and excessive blocking. I like the activity because I get exercise. I also like catching the ball and trash talking the other team. That is why football is my favorite physical activity.
Riley Harber, 7th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks
My favorite exercise or physical activity is going on walks because it’s wonderful. There’s so much quiet, unlike a house with games going off every second. If you go on a walk every day you might see something new. For example, a tree starting to sprout flower buds or a creek awakening from the chill of winter. You can see and hear so much from nature.
Sierra Woodard, 7th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks
My favorite exercise or physical activity is cross country because I like to run and I think it’s fun. Running is my passion. I’m very good at it. I practice a lot. Running is fun for me because it doesn’t matter how big you are, and I’m really little. I love running; it’s just what I do.
Taft Aldridge, 7th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks
My favorite exercise or physical activity is playing basketball because it is a physical game. Playing the position I do in basketball, center, you have to be physical. On offense you have to seal your defender, post up, and you might get fouled when shooting. Defense is also very physical. You must block shots and box out your defender when getting a rebound.
Tanner Epperly, 7th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks
My favorite exercise or physical activity is gymnastics because it is very rewarding in many ways. When I compete I win medals and trophies. I also learn a lot of new skills. When we learn new skills we get to ring a bell. When I won my competition, all of my family and friends congratulated me.

My favorite exercise or physical activity is riding my bike as much as I can. While I am doing that I am also exercising my legs. After my legs get the exercise they need I sit down somewhere. When I sit down I only sit for a bit to rest. After I rest I get back up and go at it again. While riding again for a second time I would get tired again then just put my bike up.
Aaron Robertstad, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor
My favorite exercise is running with my family. Sometimes when my family and I are walking the dogs, my sister, my brother, and I run. The reason I like to run with them is because we race. The race is not very complicated. We just run to a certain spot. Then when my dogs and parents catch up we run again. So that is what my favorite exercise is.
Aaryanna Cross, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor
My favorite physical activity is playing football. Football is intense and exciting, which keeps you interested. It is always fun to play with friends on a warm summer day. I always enjoy playing it with my dad. I also like watching live NFL football games on television. There are a few other nominations, but football will remain number one.
Alex Hamilton, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor
My favorite physical activity is volleyball. Sadly each year, I’m not at school that day of tryouts. Now I’m in robotics so I can’t try out because it would be hard to get me to school and home every day. My mom had taught me how to play volleyball since I was seven. I had a lot of fun with her teaching me. Every Friday we would play our own version after school. What we did was pretty much pass it back and forth.
Alexus Stuart, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor
Out of the many exercises and physical activities, I love playing sports, running, and doing sit-ups. The sports I play are basketball, volleyball, and XC. Sports are very fun and require a lot of energy to do them. I’ve also done three 5K runs with my best friend Katelyn (in elementary). My favorite exercise is sit-ups because they burn calories and give you abs.
Anna Campbell, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor
My favorite exercise is to jump hurdles. I like to jump hurdles because it’s easy for me. I am on the track team and I placed 3rd out of 4 people and only three can join. I’m under some pressure but I know I can do it. That’s my favorite exercise.
Anthony Harley, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor
My favorite physical activity would be soccer! The reason I chose this sport was because I grew up playing this sport every season. My mother would ask me what I wanted to do. I would say soccer. Another good thing about soccer would be it is also a great family sport. For example let’s say it’s about mid temperature outside and the whole family is bored. You can play soccer outside for some quality family time. the final thing would be if you’re playing local soccer you have a good chance of getting paired up with a friend, which is great because you know beforehand how to work together so you can do better overall!
Billy Parker, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor
My favorite exercise is running. It’s easy and doesn’t take much of anything to do. Just go around your house a couple times. Afterwards just rest.
Blake Hayes, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor
My favorite physical activity is basketball because it is my favorite sport. I love that you get to run, shoot, and dribble. I love to be active and not just sit inside all day doing nothing. I have loved basketball since I was in the 3rd grade; when I play basketball I feel like I belong in that sport. In basketball I feel like I learn social skills, teamwork, and physical strength.
Briana Combs, 7th, Holston Valley Middle, Mrs. Taylor
My favorite physical activity is basketball. I love watching it and playing it. It’s fun to be competitive and also have fun doing the sport. Basketball is a good sport because you can do whatever shot you want except being out of bounds. My friends and I play at church and go against each other and just have a good time. This is my favorite activity and why.
