We were delighted to see and connect with so many of you during our fall conference nights. Thank you for your continued support.
With the completion of our outdoor units, students had the opportunity to participate in a variety of team activities, including flag football, lacrosse, soccer, as well as teacher and student choice weeks. These activities focused on enhancing basic gameplay skills and strategies. We also continued our Friday Mile runs, where many students demonstrated consistent improvement in their mile times. It has been rewarding to witness the students' progress in enhancing their cardiovascular endurance and developing a stronger understanding of pacing.
Our PE classes have now transitioned indoors, with a focus on basketball and the fitness center. Students will rotate through the fitness center to learn how to properly use our Rogue Echo bikes and further develop their cardiovascular endurance by combining challenging workouts and raising their heart rate quickly.
Following the basketball and fitness center unit, classes will move into tumbling. This unit encourages creativity and flexibility, with students practicing skills such as basic rolls, cartwheels, balances, and jumps. They will ultimately put together individual or group routines, showcasing and memorizing the skills they have chosen to master.
Additionally, our intramural activities continue throughout the school year, taking place after school from 3:00 to 4:00 PM. An activity bus will be available to take students home at 4:00 PM. For more information on specific dates and activities, please click here.
Finally, a reminder for those needing to purchase new PE uniforms: options are available in the gym. Students can pay with cash or make purchases online through MySchoolBucks. Each t-shirt or pair of shorts is $7.
