WHAT A START!!!

Our Kindergarten students are off to a quick start with their after school soccer program. We have a great turnout this year with over 90% of our students participating in the intramural program. Please remember that the program is designed to have the students experience some team activities and to begin understanding teamwork. The games have been exciting with action constantly changing ends of the field. Thanks to all the parents who continue to support the programs here at Oxford Central School.

Kindergarten Soccer

All Kindergarten students are invited to join the Kindergarten Soccer program at Oxford Central School. The program is a NON-COMPETITIVE group where students learn the basics of soccer and play modified games. No special equipment is needed for the students to participate. The program is held Monday through Thursday from 3:05 p.m. to 3:35 p.m. Students are dismissed from the upper field behind the school. Please consider this opportunity for your child to be active for 30 minutes after school. Any questions please email me at: rcauston@oxfordcentral.org.

Starting Off Strong

As we begin the new school year we will be concentrating on kicking skills (soccer) for our physical education classes. We will be trying to use the back field (weather and conditions permitting) for our physical education classes. Please remember that students who have physical education classes in the morning, may wish to have an old pair of sneakers to use on the field. The cool mornings produce a lot of dew on the field and we do not want to have anyone ruin their new school shoes. Also a clean, dry pair of socks is a good idea to have in the students back pack to use if necessary. We are really trying to get our students in grades 4-8 to bring in a change of shirt for physical education class. Personal hygiene is being stressed with all the classes and having a fresh shirt and stick deodorant to put on after class will help students stay clean and will also help their social interactions.
Family Life (health) classes will be focusing on the definition of health and wellness. We will concentrate on the different aspects of the health triangle:
Physical
Mental / Emotional
Social
All of these components are important and we will be investigating on effects of a positive attitude towards personal health.
Please contact us if you have any questions regarding health or physical education classes.
