Health and PE Update

First of all I want to take the time to apologize for not updating this blog much sooner in the school year.  I hope to update this weekly with photographs of class projects, individual student work, updates from our sports teams and the new school yearbook I will be leading for After School All-Stars.

The end of the first quarter is a few weeks away.  I want to make sure all the students and parents realize that Health class is a separate grade from the Physical Education grade.  Both classes meet on the same day and are usually split at 35 minutes each during our block schedule.

I am excited to announce that we were able to procure some brand new Health textbooks for the first time in many years.  This will add significantly to our Middle Years Program.  We are moving forward with our health topics and students will see a significant increase in the intensity of the workload as it will not only be challenging, but require them to do some work outside of the school day.
