The Hard Work Continues!

Congratulations to the the students who have qualified to represent Oxford Central School on the 2012 Archery Team. Tryouts where extremely demanding for the students and the hard work they have put into improving their skills was evident in their scores. Trimming the team to the mandated 24 archers is one of the most difficult tasks we have as coaches. Our sincere thanks goes out to all the students and parents who have once again demonstrated tremendous dedication to the team. The archers will be shooting their state qualifying tournament on March 6, 2012. The shoot will take place immediately after school and will be scored by New Jersey Fish and Wildlife representatives. Spectators are welcomed to attend the state shoot and we hope the community makes a strong showing to continue supporting our team. Please contact us with any questions regarding the team.

Cooperation

Our primary grades students are working on cooperation skills. These physical education lessons coincide with our family life lessons which remind the students about the importance of working together and how valuable everyone is to the group. The parachute allows everyone to share in the responsibility of the group. If everyone does their job, the activity is successful. If parts are missing the activity will not be successful. This leads to some great discussions with the students.

Welcome Back

We hope everyone enjoyed their break and are refreshed as we begin 2012. Letters for the students who have qualified for archery tryouts were sent home before the break. Please make sure the letters are returned ASAP, even if your child chooses not to participate, the letter still needs to be returned. Archery tryouts will be held the week of January 16th. Archers will be required to shoot 2 competitive scoring rounds before January 19th. An average for the rounds will be calculated and the top 24 archers will qualify to represent Oxford Central School at the state tournament sometime in March. All archers need to have all of their medical clearances from the school doctor. Any questions please contact the school for clarification.
