Happy Monday!!!
We will be rollerblading for at least one more day, as Lifetime hasn't picked the blades up. Have fun!
This week we will begin our Basketball and Strength Training units in 7th and 8th grade P.E. classes. This is a great time of year in our program, as students are not only working on teamwork and communication in basketball, but also developing their muscular strength, endurance and flexibility in the strength training section. Each day, the boys and girls will switch off units. (Example: M,W,F girls would participate in basketball and T,R would be strength training days).
In sixth grade classes, students will begin their new section of units as well. Mr. Dodd's class will be in basektball, Mr. Dvorak will be in strength training and Ms. Nyhlen will be starting floor hockey.
Congratulations to the Varsity Girls Basketball team on their victory over Westivew Hills on Saturday in the annual Westmont Rotary Tournament. What a well played game!!!

Welcome Back!
Welcome back! I hope everyone had a wonderful winter break and a very happy new year!
This week in P.E. classes, all three grade levels will begin rollerblading. We will all start out learning and reviewing the basics of starting and stopping, as well as blading backwards. As we progress throughout the week, students will be working on cross-over steps, partner skating and varying the height levevls while rollerblading.
Safety equipment is available for any student to use at anytime. We have helmets, knee pads and elbow pads to provide some extra support and safety in case of a fall. So far, all of the students have been doing an outstanding job!
We will have our brake test towards the end of the week. Each student will have to demonstrate their ability to stop while rollerblading. We do this not only to test the students, but to make sure they are safe and have the basic knowledge of this activity outside of school.
GO PACKERS!!! They take on the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday in the Wild Card playoff game.

Square Dancing...
The sixth grade students had three full days of square dancing this past week and will continue through Thursday of next week. On Thursday, all of the students will take part in a skills test. This will measure not only ones knowledge of square dancing and the different figures, but also how well each student listens and works with one another. Ask your student to demonstrate some of the moves with you at home.
Examples: Do-Sa-Do, Right Arm Swing, Left Arm Swing, Allemande Left, Allemande Right and Promenade
Congratulations to the 8th grade class on continuing their outstanding BALLROOM DANCING skills with Mrs. Garvey this week! Remember, next Friday (12.18) is our actual Ballroom Dance. Every student in 8th grade will be participating in this. Girls, as a reminder, if you are planning on wearing high heels to the dance, DO NOT wear them all day at school. Your feet will be very tired by the time 1:00pm comes around.
Good luck to the Varsity Girls Basketball team as they travel to MVCC this weekend to play in a pre-season tournament. Next week, the JV Girls have three games to wrap up their season: Monday, home against Jefferson**Tuesday, home against Cass**Thursday, away against Old Quarry. GO SPARTANS!
