Following months of closure and uncertainty regarding school activities throughout the state, Governor Kim Reynolds announced that all schools could resume normal school activities as of July 1st. Following the announcement the Knoxville Community School District announced they will resume their summer strength and conditioning workouts today. Knoxville School’s Superintendent Cassi Pearson tells KNIA/KRLS News she is excited for the student athletes to get back in the gym. She says a lot of work has gone on by a lot of people behind the scenes to make sure the facilities are clean and the students are safe when they return. Pearson says she believes all the students that are planning to take part in the program are looking forward to being back and working hard throughout the month of July. 

According to the district the state is mandating that there be a limit to the number of kids that are working out at one time. The summer strength and conditioning program will operate Monday-Wednesday-Friday, starting today and finishing on Friday, August 7th. These workouts will take place in the morning between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. and will be for incoming 9th through 12th graders only.
