Students in Physical Education classes grades 3-8 are learning to strike an object with an implement. Floor hockey is one way we are able to work on hand-eye coordination. Using an object as an extension of our hand helps to develop a kinestetic awareness or how are body moves in space. This can also be worked on by participating in golf, raquet sports or baseball/softball. The primary grades are focusing on working together and getting along with one another. We do visit this several times during the school year, and hopefully this will carry over into the classroom.
The OCS archery team will be defending it's state championship by competing in the New Jersey National Archery in the Schools Program State Championship on March 13, 2013. The state shoot will take place in our gymnasium beginning at 3:10 PM. The competition should last about 1 hour and EVERYONE is invited to come out and cheer the archers on.
