Ballroom Dancing Unit...

Next week the 8th grade students will be starting their ballroom dancing unit on Monday the 30th. Students will be instructed by Ann Garvey four days of the week and will learn the basic steps to the rumba, tango, swing and cha cha. At the conclusion of the unit all of the 8th graders will participate in their Ballroom Dance that will take place on Friday, December 18th. Parents are welcome to come and watch their son/daughter show off their new moves.

Sixth grade students will be testing Monday the 30th over their current units. They will switch into the final three units of this section after their test. Both 6th and 7th grade students will begin square dancing during the week of December 7th.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and you get to spend it with family and friends!

New units....

This week we started our new units for all three grade levels. In 7th and 8th grade P.E. classes we began volleyball and bowling. Our 6th graders started volleyball, bowling and strength training.

In volleyball, we will be working on the basics of passing, setting and serving to begin. Next week, we will start practicing our appoaches for attacking the ball at the net and rotation in a game. We will begin playing volleyball games during the middle of next week.

Congratulations to all of the Fall athletes on amazing seasons! We had our Fall Sports Banquet last night and all of the students did a great job. It was so nice to be able to recognize all of the hard work that each individual put in during their season.

Up next, boys and girls JV and Varsity Basketball as well as JV/Varsity Cheerleading. The first JV Basketball game for both boys and girls is next Thursday 11/12. The boys will travel to Gower, while the girls will host Gower here at Lakeview. GO SPARTANS!!!
