You do NOT have to be in Spanish class to join Spanish Club!! Come join us to participate in fun field trips and learn more about the diverse hispanic cultures (and eat yummy food)! There is more information on the table in the lobby.

Just a few reminders about being in the gym during lunch:

• You may NOT go out into the hall way. You are either in the PAC or the cafeteria.
• Behavior expectations remain the same in the PAC as they are in the classroom.
• Inappropriate language and behaviors are not allowed and will result in you being removed for the next day. This includes tackling, rough, aggressive play, throwing balls at others, kicking balls across the gym and using profanity.
• You may NOT bring open food into the gym.
• EVERYONE needs to help clean up when the bell rings. It is not ok to just kick the balls to the corner of the gym for someone else to clean up.
• Nothing should be left in the gym, including water bottles, chips, trash...
• Always be safe.
• Remember, it is a PRIVILEGE to have the gym open during that time and if you wish to see it continue to be open, you need to be following all behavior expectations.
