Hi Folks,
What an incredible fall this has been and a great start to the school year. Students have been able to stay active during recesses with the weather being so cooperative. Our after school volleyball was a huge success with anywhere from 41 to 25 kids from grades 4, 5, and 6 participating. Lunch hour volleyball intramurals were also a huge success with over 80 per cent of the grade 4, 5, 6 student population participating.
Upon return from Christmas break we will begin after school basketball on Wed. Jan. 6th and this will take place on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:15 to 4:30. I will run 8 basketball sessions followed by 8 floor hockey sessions. Once again this is open to students in grades 4, 5, and 6. Our final after school activity day will be Wed. Mar. 10th. We are starting Danish Handball intramurals during lunch hours starting Monday, Nov. 30th. These will run until Dec. 10th and stop as a result of Christmas activities and will resume when we get back from break. All intramurals are from 12:10 to 12:40 on days 1, 3, and 5.
A number of other activities are upcoming next term such as the grade 6 learn to curl program [ date to be announced ], winter Olympic day in February for all students, and Fort Whyte Nature Centre on Monday, Feb. 8th for students in grades 4, 5, and 6.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas with friends and family and should you have any questions in regards to the PE program please do not hesitate to call me at 864-2868.

Fall 09
Hi Folks,
After a rainy, cool summer we are finally back at school. I hope everyone enjoyed the last 2 weeks of sun and heat and had a safe summer. Just to fill you in on some upcoming activities in the next couple months.
I will be starting cross-country running with students from grades 4 to 6 on Thursday, September 17th. Training will take place on days 1, 3, and 5 for any students from these grades who are interested. Students will be training for provincials and hopefully 1 other meet which will take place in October. Students will be required to make a certain number of training sessions in order to participate in these meets.
October will also be the start of after school volleyball which I hope will take place on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:30 to 4:45. This is also open to students from grades 4 to 6 who will be required to bring a note from home to stay for this activity and must be picked up right at 4:45. There will be no volleyball on early dismissal days. My hope is to get in 9 or 10 sessions which would take us to the middle of November. The focus with this activity is skill development for about 45 minutes and games for about 30.
Should you have any questions in regards to the extra-curricular activities or the PE program in general please do not hesitate to contact me at the school. See you soon.

Spring Activities
Dear Parents, Students and Guardians,
Well after an extremely long and busy winter, spring is hopefully just around the corner. We were kept active with a number of winter activities from curling to winter survival day at Fort Whyte to skating. Spring will also be busy as training will soon begin for Manitoba Marathon. This is open to students from grades 3 to 6 and will run on days 1, 3, and 5 at 11:45. This training will prepare students for the 2.6 mile super run on Fathers Day at the University of Manitoba.
As in the past 2 years I will be running a grade 4, 5, and 6 track and field meet out of St. Pauls in Elie on Friday, May 22nd. This will involve students from St. Francois Xavier, St. Eustache, Elm Creek, and possibly St. Laurent. All students will participate in a minimum 2 running events and 2 field events.
In early June I will be running a baseball tournament out of St. Eustache involving students from grades 5 and 6 from both schools. Students from both schools will be combined into a number of teams and will play a number of games of tennis baseball.
As in the past I am always looking for help for all these activities. If any parents can help at the track meet please contact me at the school. If any parents are interested in training with the students for the Manitoba Marathon they are more than welcome to join us on the days we run. Should you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to call me or see me directly at the school.
