Parents,
We have been working on procedures in PE class--what our attire is for class, emergency procedures, stretching procedures, our theme for the year--Who Do You Play For?
We will be talking about President's Testing within the next week (Curl-Ups, Flex Arm Hang, Mile, Pole Climb, Pull-ups, Pushups, Shuttle Run, Sit and Reach) in grades 3-8. We will be starting President's Testing the second week of September. We will start to work on balance with Kindergarten-Second Grade within the same time period.
Middle School Schedule for Our Short Week:
Sixth Grade Tuesday September 3
Seventh Grade Thursday September 5
Eighth Grade Friday September 6
Have a great long weekend!

PE UNIFORM************
Parents,
The PE uniform this year involves many items.
As always, students should be wearing socks and tennis shoes for class (the exception was Friday--Picture Day).
As far as shorts and t-shirts, students should be wearing a combination of:
Acceptable T-Shirts for PE Class
Navy Blue Holy Spirit T-Shirt
Grey Holy Spirit T-Shirt
Green Holy Spirit T-Shirt
*****Friday Spirit Shirt (Fridays only--this replaces the PE t-shirt on Fridays only)--PE shorts still need to be worn
Acceptable Shorts for PE Class
Navy Blue Holy Spirit Shorts
Gold Holy Spirit Shorts
Green Holy Spirit Shorts
If you are a new student and you have ordered a PE uniform, you should wear an appropriate pair of shorts and t-shirt for class until the ordered apparel arrives.
If you are a returning student, wear any combination of an "old" PE uniform until the new one arrives. The "old" uniform(s) can be worn during the 2013-2014 school year.
Please hold off on sending your student in sweatshirts and sweatpants. I will send information out on this once it starts getting cooler.
Thank you!

PE Newsletter for August 26-29
Parents,
We have been working on our intial procedures for PE during our first full week of school. Within the procedures, we have discussed our fire and tornado plans. I have challenged the students to ask parents if they have fire and tornado evacuation plans for their homes, so if your son or daughter asks, I am probably the culprit.
A reminder that next week is a 4-day school week (no school on Friday August 30). The following homerooms will only have PE once next week because of the schedule: DiSalvo, Hammans, Porter, Elliot (First Grade), Hill. Also, the middle school schedule will be: 6th Grade--Monday, 7th Grade--Tuesday, 8th Grade--Thursday.
We will continue procedures next week, focusing on our stretches.
Have a great week!
