Jump Rope for Heart 2012

By now all the third and fourth grade students from Pence and Washington Elementary have received their Jump Rope for Heart packets and they are out collecting donations for the American Heart Association.  All the classes will be jumping rope during their P.E. classes the week before Spring Break. All donations should be turned in at that time as well.  Every year we turn over thousands of dollars to help fight heart disease and stroke, two of the leading causes of death in America every year.  Below is a video that explains the event and how the donations we raise help those suffering from these health issues.  Please take time to be a heart hero and donate to the American Heart Association.

Wii Dancin'

The elementary students recently played the video game Just Dance during their physical education classes.  The video game and the Wii console were both purchased with a grant from the Fairfield Education Foundation.  Below is a video of Mrs. Carter's second grade class in action.

Coming Soon....Jump Rope for Heart

We will be joining hands with the American Heart Association in the month of March by conducting our annual Jump Rope for Event for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades. Here is a video that helps explain all that the American Heart Association does and how the money we raise will help.  Kids will be receiving more information and a donation packet in the coming week.

The Climb

Classes at Washington spent a couple periods on the climbing wall recently.  Here is a short video of a few classes getting some exercise on the wall.

Basketball Skills

One thing elementary students are working on this month in PE is basketball skills.  Students will practice dribbling, passing, and shooting and play some games with basketballs. Below are some pictures and a video of Ms. McEvoy's first grade class practicing their dribbling skills.
