The start of new units...........

This week 7th and 8th grade students finished up with two cognitive tests on basketball and weight lifting. Overall, most students did an excellent job on the tests if they studied all of the information that was provided to them on the study guides. Today we switched over to pickleball and ping pong and chose our doubles partners. Towards the end of the pickleball unit we will play a modified tournament where students will be put into multiple games to see who can finish up with the best record.

Sixth grade students also started pickleball, whiffle ball and ping pong this week. We will be starting off with basic skills such as volleying and serving in the pickleball unit. After next week we will start to play full games with doubles and singles matches.

The spring athletic season is quickly approaching! The Spring Athletic Schedule is out and tryouts for teams will be coming up in the middle of March or after Spring Break. Softball tryouts will be held on March 11th and March 13th right after school until 5pm. Hopefully the weather will warm up enough so we can make it outside! Have a great weekend!
