HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

We wish everyone a safe and joyous holiday season!!!

Congratulations Daisies

The girls did a great job earning their RED Petal for being strong and courageous. The girls worked hard on fitness activities and discussed the importance of Veterans Day and how courageous our Veteran's are serving the United States of America. Because of all their hard work, the Daisies earned their first pedal. The girls also gave me some wonderful cookies and a beautiful card. Thanks so much to all the girls, I am very proud of you all.

4th Grade Family Life

Our 4th grade students are participating in a Drug Free poster contest for the State of New Jersey. All 4th grade students were to complete a poster that was submitted to the state for a contest. The top 2 posters chosen by the state will be included on a folder next year and distributed throughout the state to students. The poster was designed to deliver a "Drug Free" message. Good luck to all of our entries.

Round #2

Students in grades 6-8 will be shooting another round of archery for scores during their physical education classes. This second set of scores will complete the scoring rubric used to determine the students ability, knowledge and attitude. The students whose rubric scores are in the top 40 will be asked to try out for the 2010-2011 Oxford Central Archery Team. The top 40 will shoot competitive scores with the top 24 scores making the team. This can be a stressful time, but we believe that healthy competition helps the students mature.
The open gym time in the morning will still be available to all students who are shooting archery in physical educaiton class. This open gym time will continue until the top 40 students are determined. After the top 40 are determined the time before and after school will be dedicated to the students who are trying out for the team. We are hoping that the team will be finalized immediately following our winter recess. This will enable us to have enough practice time as we compete for another state title. Please contact us with any questions or concerns regarding the archery team and the process that we use to determine the team.
