Eagles in Action!

For the past three Fridays our Kindergarten students had the opportunity to learn various skills that go into t-ball.  They learned the order of the bases, how to run the bases, how to put on a glove, how to field a pop fly, how to field a grounder, and how to bat off a tee.  Thanks to all of the volunteers who helped and to the Carson Raymond Foundation for the equipment they donated to our school so that we can offer t-ball to our kindergarten every year.   

Jump Rope for Heart results

We raised $ 8,222.18 for the American Heart Association with our Jump Rope for Heart event. All students took part in the event and in helping to create the giant heart made up of each student’s individually designed heart for the PE bulletin board.

The “tennis lady” (Lynda Harrell) visited with the Knd, 1^st, and 2^nd grade classes. She talked with us about eating fruits and vegetables, drinking water to stay hydrated, and warming up.

We returned to school after all the snow days and jumped right in with our Jump Rope for Heart event.

Eagles in Action!

We celebrated our third of four PE Buddy Days this year in a big way.  We dropped 100 balls from the balcony in honor of the 100th day of school.  Each class was timed to see how long it took them to pick up 100 balls only picking up one ball at a time.  Then we talked to our buddies and celebrated Chinese New Year with a lantern parade. We ended our day by using PE chopsticks to pick up items from the food buffet.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to the 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd place winners in their age group in the Crozet hoop shoot.  All students who chose to take part were allowed 10 basketball free throws.  We even had to have some shoot-offs because of close contests. A big thank you to the Elks National Foundation for sponsoring the contest and providing the place ribbons.
