Basketball and weight lifting....

This week we are starting the basketball and weight lifting units for the eighth grade students. Yesterday in class we went over the weight lifting study guide and started to discuss the new machines that we received over the summer. Over the course of the weight lifting unit, we will not only be using the new machines but will also be including free weights and working on multiple other strength training exercises including lunges, squats, reverse lunges, modified push-ups various abdominal exercises and aerobic fitness.

Good luck to the boys and girls basketball teams as they take on Cass tonight! Girls will be playing at Lakeview while the boys are away at Cass.

Don't forget that next week is Pack the Place! On Wednesday, February 4th the girls will take on Burr Ridge and then on Thursday the 5th the boys will face Westview. Come out and show your Spartan spirt while you cheer on the teams for a victory!
