Happy New Year!

As we begin 2010 we are quickly approaching the end of the 2nd marking period. Hard to imagine that this school year is almost 1/2 over. Students will be completing their second archery rubric in physical education classes over the next two weeks. After the rubrics have been scored, a letter will be sent home to all students in grades 6-8 who qualify to try out for the archery team. Please remember that arrow totals are not the only criteria for making the team. Attitude, behavior and ability to self-correct are also very important qualities on our team. Fitness will be a strong focus on all physical education classes. Please remember that it is recommended that school age children are active for a LEAST 60 minutes a day. This along with a balanced diet will help with all aspects of child's development.
Family Life classes are focusing on human body systems and how they interact. Students in the upper grades are pretending to be different organs and writing letters to their bodies to show their importance. No Name Calling week is quickly approaching and Family Life classes will be concentrating on No Name Calling week, January 25 - 29th.
