This week in PE students were playing a new game called Spyder Pong. The best way to describe it is that is a combination of spikeball and ping pong. They had a blast and got pretty good at it. They also had the opportunity to play some pickleball which had some pretty intense games. A lot of great work done by the students in PE this week!

Join us for Parent Teacher Conference tonight from 4-8 PM. Don't forget to visit the PTA Scholastic Book Fair while you are here - it is in the library upstairs!

The students in Mrs. Rachel Hatch's class had a visit from snakes, armadillos and more animals from the Loveland Living Aquarium.  Students asked lots of questions about the different animals that were visiting and learned a lot about the ecosystems and what these animals need to stay healthy. 

Meet Mrs. Lynn tomorrow in the Gym for the first meeting of the Run Club.  It will happen each Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 3:15-4:15,  See you there!
