**     Attention 3^rd and 4^th graders!

Ms. Giampietro is having a walking club on Wednesday’s after school.  If you are interested and need permission slip please let me know!!  We will be starting on Wednesday April 2^nd.

Wow… it’s already April!  This month the children are testing for the Fitnessgram and learning dances for the May PTA meeting/performance.  Ask your child why we take the Fitnessgram (and if they get a report about what they did!).  This is perfect timing for them to begin getting in “condition” for the March of Dimes walk we are holding. 

Fitnessgram! Just what is it?  Click here to find out more!    

PE Family Activities

There are some fantastic clubs that are not only Fitness based but also are for family membership.  If you are looking for an activity that the entire family can do here are 2 I have found.  As I come across more that are local I will add them to our list.

The 3^rd -5^th grade children will be starting Fitnessgram testing and dancing when they return from Spring Break.  The dancing is in preparation of their performance at the May PTA meeting.  The younger grades have been learning songs which they will be singing with the older children.  Our theme for their performance is Patriotism.

The K to 2^nd will be playing some activities in preparation for their field Day, which will be on June 2^nd.  The older children will have their Field Day on Tuesday June 3.  More information will follow!

 Jump Rope for Heart
During the week of February 11th -15th, our school will be holding our Jump Rope for Heart event.  This is a fun event that encourages community service and is educational. Our students will learn jump roping skills while raising money to fund lifesaving research and educational programs sponsored by the American Heart Association. Students have already received their fundraising envelopes and information sheets about the event. Please sign and return the collection envelope during the week of February 11th. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Buddin or Ms. Giampietro at 650-4600.

February News

The students have been playing games and activities requiring cooperation and team work.  They have learned fitness skills which are components of the Fitnessgram they will be taking later in the school year. Bean bags, assorted sized balls, and Frisbees have been flying back and forth in the field behind the school!  Please make sure your child has sneakers on PE day so they can enjoy on our exciting games and activities.
