New Units...

This week we are beginning new units in P.E. class. Both 7th and 8th grade classes will be switching into the bowling and volleyball units. Remember that at the conclusion of our bowling unit 7th and 8th grade students will be going on their field trip to the bowling alley. Please make sure that your permission slips are turned in for the bowling trip. The permission slips are available online through the Lakeview website, click on Physical Education and scroll down to permission slips.

Sixth grade students also started their new units yesterday. Ms. Nyhlen's class will be in volleyball, Mr. Dvorak's class will be in strength training and Mr. Dodd's class will be in bowling.

Good luck to the Varsity Volleyball team at their tournament this Saturday at Lakeview. The Spartans finished their regular season with a 7-2 record and 2nd place in the conference. They will play Cass at 9:45am on October 30th. Go Spartans!!!

Fitness Testing...

This week all students will be participating in our Presidential Fitness Testing for the fall season. We will also complete the same tests in the spring so that students are able to compare their scores and check for improvement. The following tests are included in the Presidential Physical Fitness test: mile run, pull ups, sit and reach, shuttle run and one minute sit-ups.

At the conclusion of our testing, students will bring their fitness sheets/scores home for you to review. Please sign the sheet and have your child return it to their P.E. teacher.

Flag football units are moving along well. The weather has been amazing for our entire unit so hopefully that will continue until we wrap up flag football and move into our indoor units.

The Varsity volleyball team is currently 5-2 on the season with our final regular season home game this Thursday against Westmont. Come on out and support your Spartans!!!

Spartan Volleyball...

Congratulations to both the JV and Varsity Volleyball teams on a great start to their season! The Varsity team is currently 3-1 on the season! Our next game will be on Monday, October 4th at Burr Ridge. The next home game will be on Thursday, October 7th vs. Gower. Go Spartans!

In P.E. class 7th and 8th grade students have started the flag football unit. We will begin playing games on Tuesday next week. Please remember that students may bring sweatpants/sweatshirts as the weather becomes a little cooler outside.

On Monday, all classes will be running the mile for the second and final time during the fall. Students will receive extra credit points if they improve their time from the first run we completed.

Have a great weekend!
