OMIS PE: Eagles On The Move…

WE CANNOT WAIT TO MEET ALL OF OUR NEW 4TH GRADERS AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING OUR AWESOME FRIENDS FROM LAST YEAR AS WELL.  AND TO ALL OF YOU WHO ARE NEW TO THIS SCHOOL FROM OTHER SCHOOLS, WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME!!!!

4TH GRADE                                               PAUL

5TH GRADE                                             FURMAN

GREAT EFFORT KIDS!

WE HAVE TUMBLED INTO THE NEW YEAR WITH ROLLS, CARTWHEELS, ROUNDOFFS, INDIVIDUAL AND PARTNER BALANCING STUNTS, AND MUCH MORE!  WE WILL ALSO BE SPENDING SOME TIME ON THE SPRINGBOARDS AND VAULTING BOXES!

GYMNASTICS FOR KIDS CAN BE BENEFICIAL IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT AREAS.  SOME PHYSICAL BENEFITS OF DOING GYMNASTICS INCLUDE INCREASED STRENGTH, AGILITY, FLEXIBILITY, AND ENDURANCE.  RESEARCH ALSO SUGGESTS THAT PARTICIPATION IN ACTIVITIES LIKE GYMNASTICS CAN POSITIVELY AFFECT KID’S SELF-ESTEEM WHILE ALSO ALLOWING THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE THEIR PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS.

ONCE AGAIN WE ARE ENCOURAGING ALL OF OUR KIDS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE MERCEDES KID’S MARATHON.  THIS PROGRAM PROMOTES FITNESS AND FUN AS KIDS, OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL MONTHS, RUN/WALK THE EQUIVALENT OF A FULL MARATHON(26.2 MILES).  THE FINAL MILE WILL BE RUN DOWNTOWN ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2018.  YOUR CHILD IS ENCOURAGED TO TRACK AND LOG THEIR MILES OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL.  

REGISTRATION IS ONLINE AND THE COST IS $20.  THE DEADLINE IS NOVEMBER 15.   

WE WILL TAKE CARE OF PACKET PICK UPS AND WILL PASS THOSE OUT TO THE KIDS DURING PE CLASS PRIOR TO THE EVENT.

YOUR CHILD WAS GIVEN A LETTER WITH THEIR LOG SHEET AND ALL NECESSARY INFORMATION IF THEY EXPRESSED INTEREST.  WE DO HAVE MORE IF YOUR CHILD DECIDES TO PARTICIPATE.

NURSES FROM THE COUNTY WILL BE SCREENING 5TH GRADERS THIS THURSDAY(SEPTEMBER 7) FOR SCOLIOSIS.  A LETTER WAS SENT HOME THROUGH YOUR CHILD’S CLASSROOM TEACHER LAST WEEK.  FEEL FREE TO SIGN AND RETURN THE LETTER IF YOU WOULD PREFER YOUR CHILD NOT TO BE SCREENED AT SCHOOL.  THEY WILL NOT BE MAKING ANY DIAGNOSIS BUT WILL SIMPLY BE LOOKING FOR ANY SIGNS/INDICATIONS THAT MIGHT WARRANT FURTHER ATTENTION FROM YOUR CHILD’S PEDIATRICIAN.
