Golf Unit....

In P.E. classes this week, seventh and eighth grade students have been practicing their golf skills and getting ready for their golf field trip. Yesterday we worked on stance, grip and swing, with everyone having the opportunity to practice an iron shot. Today we will focus on putting and accuracy, a very important aspect to the game of golf. For those seventh grade students that turned in their permission slips, we will be going to the driving range on Thursday during class. Each student should have enough time to hit about one bucket of golf balls. Eighth grade students will go on Friday and either golf the course or use the driving range/mini-golf course.

On Wednesday, there will be "mini-holes" set up outside where each student will keep track of his or her score and see how many strokes it takes to get the ball within the target area. The golf test will be on Thursday for eighth grade students and on Friday for the seventh grade.

Congratulations to JV and Varsity Volleyball on their victory over Burr Ridge last week. This week we have two home matches, Tuesday against Lisle and Thursday against Butler. Have a super week!
