The 7th and 8th grade students will be outside all week concluding their track and field units. In the track portion, students are working on the 400 and 800 relays. The times so far after one day have been very impressive and I am betting that students will continue to improve as they gain the tactical knowledge to master the skill of a blind handoff. We will test on Friday with our 7th and 8th graders.
Sixth grade students are well under way with their second units of the school year. In field hockey, we were able to go outside for the first time and play games. Students realized how it is much more of a challenge to compete in a game outside on the grass compared to inside on the floor. Students in both classes recognized the areas of the game that they could improve on and then discussed what each team was doing well. I'm looking forward to watching some great games through the end of the week.
The Spartan volleyball teams both were victorious last night against Gower. The Varsity match went to 3 games (the first time all season), but the Spartans were able to come from behind (7-14) in the final game to win 16-14. One of the greatest comebacks I have ever seen! The JV team won in 2 games and continued their great play on the court. The teams conclude their regular season this week with games @Butler on Wednesday and home against Jefferson on Thursday. Come on out and support your Spartans!!!
