on Wednesday and be prepared to have some fun!
There will be four FUN and FANTASTIC stations that you will be at for 10 minutes each.
*Teachers will be given bracelets to hand out prior to going outside. Each color bracelet
will travel together through the stations and each station will be broken up into two groups (making a total of 8 groups/colors outside at a time). There will also be a corresponding
flag so colors know where they are located and when to move.

 Station 2: Drip Drip Drench
-Duck duck goose meets water
 
Station 3: 3 Legged Race

BLAST FROM THE PAST FOR 8TH GRADERS
6TH GRADE BIKE TRIP PICTURES 2017 The weather cooperated for an epic bike trip out to the Abbey Restaurant on the rail trail. Students celebrated their country ride with a wonderful cookout and ball games in the Abbey fields and on the volleyball courts. A portion of the students were up for the ride back to school as well. A good time was had by students and the staff that came along to chaperone the event.
