Study up for your tests!
This week we will be concluding our units in Strength Training, Basketball and Floor Hockey (6th gr. only). All students received study guides at the beginning of the unit so make sure that you review them before we test. Sixth grade students will test on Friday and 7th and 8th grade will have their tests on Monday. Next up: Pickleball, Ping Pong and Baggo!
Thank you to everyone who sold candy for our Athletic Fundraiser. We don't have the totals in yet, however its seems to have been a very successful fundraiser, which couldn't have been done without your continued support.
Good luck to both the basketball teams as they conclude their regular season today against Jefferson. The girls will play at home while the boys travel to Jefferson. Go Spartans!

Candy Fundraiser...
All of the students who chose to take a box of chocolate bars for our fundraiser should be well on their way to selling the 4o bars. Please make sure that you have all of your money turned in for our Athletic Fundraiser by next Tuesday, February 16th. We are accepting the envelopes as soon as you finish selling your box. You can turn them in to either Mr. Dvorak, Mr. Dodd, or Ms. Nyhlen.
This week in P.E. classes we are still continuing with the Basketball and Strength Training units, as well as Floor Hockey for 6th grade only. Students have really been doing a great job over the past few weeks of these units and should be well prepared to take their written test at the end of next week.
On Friday, the sixth grade students will have their Valentine's Day Party during P.E. class. We will be playing a game in each of the gyms and then have snacks in the lobby. Have a great weekend and a wonderful Valentine's Day!

Steroid Project...
Over the past week, all students were in the IMC for one day working on the Steroid Project. This project coincides with our Strength Training unit and enables students to recognize the potential dangers of using steroids. Each student completed a Brain Pop quiz on steroids and then read an in depth article about some of the serious side effects that could arise from steroid use.
At the conclusion of the article, students completed a 10 question quiz and a word search on steroids. The last day to turn these items in is Wednesday, February 3rd.
The Bench Press Competition has started for all of my classes. All of the girls have done a great job in giving their best effort. Our two leaders so far: Antoinette Z. (7th grade), 41 reps. @ 40lbs. and Amanda F. (8th grade), 35 reps. @ 40lbs. Congratulations!
Good luck to the Varsity basketball teams as they prepare for PACK THE PLACE this Wednesday (girls against Butler), and Thursday (boys against Burr Ridge). GO SPARTANS!
