Turkey Trot 2014

What a great day it turned out to be. Great weather for running. Thanks to everyone for their help in making our 14th annual Turkey Trot another success. Congratulations to all who participated for their effort. We always stress doing your best, so hopefully all of our students are pleased in their effort. Everyone who does their best can be a winner. Also congratulations to those students listed for their extra effort.

As we get into the holiday season, exercise seems to slow down a little. Help your child to remember to stay active. (An hour a day is recommended) With the extra holiday time hopefully they can fit in a little more play time.

Our next two PE/Health united are on Jump Rope and Basketball skills appropriate for each grade level. (Two weeks for jump rope-5 lessons and four weeks for basketball-10 lessons)
We try to give each student a wide variety of activities that will help them decide which activities they would like to pursue further. Also, exercise, running, and activities are designed to help your child become more fit and skilled.

Again, enjoy your fall break and stay fit.
