New PE/Health Rotation and Winter Sports

Starting on Monday, any student with Ms. Nyhlen on his or her schedule, will be rotating into Health class.  All other students with Mr. Dvorak or Mrs. Conley on their schedule will be in PE class.  Our new units for this rotation are ping pong and bags with Mr. Dvorak and pickleball with Ms. Nyhlen.  The first group of students did an outstanding job with these games and I look forward to seeing the great teamwork and cooperation in tournament play during the next two weeks.

Our Winter sports season is in the home stretch.  Best of luck to both the boys and girls basketball teams as they play tonight at Lakeview in the round of 4.  The girls will host Jefferson at 4pm, while the boys will play Old Quarry at 5:15pm.  If Lakeview wins tonight, they will move onto the championship games which will be held next Tuesday, March 12th at Jefferson Jr. High.  Girls game time is set for 6:00pm with the boys set to play at 7:30pm.  GO SPARTANS!!!  

The Winter Athletic Banquet will be held on Thursday, March 21st with dinner beginning at 6:00pm.  All JV and Varsity basketball players/managers were given a form today (Friday, March 8th), that should be brought home and filled out.  If you choose to eat dinner with us that night, please return the form and appropriate dollar amount to Ms. Nyhlen by Friday, March 15th.

Have a great weekend everyone!

New Rotations

This week we began our original rotation groups in PE and Health classes.  Ms. Nyhlen's class is currently participating in the basketball unit, while Mr. Dvorak's class is participating in the strength training unit.  In basketball, all students will be working on the basic skills of the game that include dribbling, passing, shooting and defense.  Starting on Tuesday next week, all classes will begin game play that will continue through the remainder of the unit.  We will test on Friday, January 25th.

Good luck to both the boys and girls varsity basketball teams as they begin their regular season schedule.  This week their opponents include Cass and Old Quarry.  Go Spartans!
