PICTURES & NEWS INDOOR PE - JARVIS Because of the wintery conditions outside, Ms. Jarvis held indoor sessions this week with two-part classroom experiences. Students and Ms. Jarvis first copied a series of dance and calisthenic moves shown on an exercise video. The moves were simple and vigorous and lased about 10-15 minutes in total. When everyone was exhausted, Ms. Jarvis gave each student a ping pong ball launcher and rotated them in pairs or triplets around a series of target shooting stations. These accuracy games got some friendly competitive behaviours going and gave students a sense of exploratory joy.

8TH GRADER BABY PICTURES WANTED The yearbook committee would like 8th graders to submit baby pictures for the yearbook. It is best if you provide digital copies of your pictures to Mr. Craib at mcraib@maplerun.org. If you need to bring in the original image for scanning, you can give it to your 7/8-grade teacher who will pass it on to Mr. Craib. The picture will be scanned as soon as it is received and immediately returned safely to the student. Thank you.
