Tomorrow is the final day for "Mr. Big".  Thanks to everyone in Grades 3 to 8 that came to the gym for some fun, exercise, and skill improvement.

Have a safe and very enjoyable Halloween evening!

Students in all grades are being assessed on their cardiovascular fitness levels.  Mr. Schendel appreciates the great effort the students are providing in the gym.  Wow!

The school intramural program started this week.  In order to maintain a healthy body, one needs to get plenty of rest, practice proper hygiene, eliminate bad habits, get plenty of exercise, and have proper nutrition.  This year intramurals will emphasize exercise and proper nutrition.  Students in Grades 3 to 8 have the option to sign-up for an exciting activity/game during the morning and afternoon recesses.  At the end, they can grab a nutritious snack.  This week they can grab a healthy juice box and apple on their way back to the classroom.
