penner signs to play university volleyballCongratulations goes out to Andrew Penner for signing a letter of intent with the University of Guelph Gryphons Men's Volleyball program! Andrew has been a stalwart within the Boys' Volleyball program in Morris for quite some time. It is just great when students who are passionate about something are able to find an avenue to pursue that passion beyond high school. Our school community is very happy for you...Way to Go, Andrew! A message from Mr. RicardA Note From Elementary Phys. Ed. Hello everyone, I hope everyone had a great break and that you are all ready to get back into the swing of things here at school. I have two important topics to discuss as we head back to school. #1 Outdoor Gym Class As we move forward there have been many changes throughout the school, one of those changes is that for the time being most Phys. Ed. classes will be moved outdoors. This is a great opportunity for us to get a lot more fresh air and enjoy the outdoors! I have some great units planned and some other ideas to keep us busy outside. Having said that, I would just like to remind everyone of the importance of bringing proper outdoor gear. I would like to see every student have a warm jacket, ski pants, proper mitts and a hat. The one time we were outside this week I noticed a number of students did not have proper mitts or gloves. Knitted finger mitts are not warm enough for outdoor play. If your child needs different mitts, please contact myself and I can see what I can find here at the school. #2 Skating for Phys. Ed. Class Since we will be outside for gym class we now have the opportunity to go to the arena for skating! We will be starting our skating unit on Feb. 1st. The grade 3/4 classes will be going two times a week, every Tuesday and Thursday from 1:00-2:00 pm. The grade 1/2 classes will go one time per week, every Thursday from 10:00- 11:00 am, so their first time skating will be February 3rd. We will skate right till spring break on this schedule. Here are a couple of things to note; we do have many pairs of extra skates available in a variety of sizes, so if you do not have your own skates, not a problem. Every student will be required to wear a helmet on the ice. We do have extra helmets as well, however, the sizes of helmets tend to be quite small. I am encouraging everyone to bring their own helmet, even if they do not have their own skates. Any helmet will do, it does not have to be a traditional hockey helmet. Bike, ski, football etc. helmets will do just fine. Also, I will ask all students to make sure they wear some sort of gloves on the ice, this could be hockey gloves or just their everyday winter mitts. This is a great opportunity during this difficult time so I am excited and I hope everyone else is. If you have any questions or concerns about skating at all please feel free to email me directly anytime!
