PE Department Week of 8/27/07
Published by Wind/Wenzel Blakemore (PE) August 27th, 2007 in Announcements.Welcome back everyone! We are so very excited to see all of our students back and in great form to start a new year. We hope everyone had a relaxing and fun summer and are ready for a great school year.
Jr. High students will need their gym uniforms and shoes beginning Monday, 8/27. We have new locker rooms, which are beautiful and decorated very nicely. Our new lockers are not in yet and will not be until mid to late September. We have informed all of our Jr. High students that they may keep their gym uniforms in their lockers by their classrooms until the locker rooms are completed.
Our elementary students will meet with us this week for the first time and we will go over all the “rules of the gym”. Remember, kindergarten through 3rd grade has gym once a week. 4th and 5th grades have gym twice a week and Jr. High has gym and/or fitness at least three times a week. 7th grade gets an extra special day on Friday, where they will have at least one trimester of “team building” with Mrs. Blakemore and Mrs. Maslanka.
All children in grades 2 through 8 will begin the school year with the Presidential Physical Fitness Test. All children will be running. We will build up their endurance weekly. If your child has asthma or a medical condition that prevents them from running, a note will be required from a parent and/or doctor ASAP.
We look forward to working with your children this year.
