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.

November Activities
Hi Folks,
Well it looks like Mother Nature has taken care of summer rather quickly and we are well on our way into winter. Students in grades 4, 5, and 6 have spent a great deal of time developing their volleyball skills. Many students have chosen to put them to use by participating in lunch hour intramurals. I have also been amazed by the response for students staying for after school volleyball as virtually everytime we do this we have about 25 kids staying. With 4 sessions left I hope this continues. Our last volleyball session will be on the 24th of this month and I will begin with after school basketball in the new year.
Students in grades 4, 5, and 6 also participated in a archery clinic put on by the archery association. I love watching students participate in activties such as these because many students gain a huge amount of self confidence by attempting an activity such as this that they may not otherwise had. Lifetime activities such as these are great opportunities for students to get hooked and pursue this activity throughout their school years and beyond.
Should you have any questions or concerns please give me a call at 864-2868. Stay warm and stay active.

Welcome Back
I hope everyone had a peaceful and relaxing summer break. Both July and August flew by and we are now back for another school year. I am looking forward to teaching my students from last year and also getting to know the many new faces around. I will be starting extracurricular activities the week of September 15th for both students in SFX and St. Eustache.
Last year a number of students from both schools ran in the provincial cross country championships in mid October. I will be training students again for this upcoming race. All training sessions will take place at 11:45 on the days I am at their respective schools. Students will need to run at least 9 times to qualify to run at Harbour View as this will be run on a school day during class time. Those who do not run the minimum number of times will not be allowed that time away from school.
I will be starting intramurals at lunch hours once cross country training is complete and hope to do after school activities out of SFX starting in October. Much of this will be dependant on my hockey schedule. Should you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to come see me. Hope to see you soon.

April Activities
Dear Students, Parents, Guardians,
Mother Nature is finally cooperating and will soon allow us to do a number of activities outside. I am currently busy with badminton with a number of grades and am very impressed how their skills have developed.
My after school badminton which takes place on Mondays and Thursdays will end Monday, April 28th and that will bring to an end the after school activities for this year.
I am also finishing up my lunch hour intramurals for the year. The grades 1,2,and 3 are now playing soccer baseball while the grades 4, 5, and 6 are close to finishing their floor hockey intramurals. My lunch hours will now be busy preparing students for the upcoming Manitoba Marathon super run. This is a 2.6 mile run which takes place on Fathers Day as part of the Manitoba Marathon. Students may wish to train and be part of the Marathon or they may just wish to train to stay in shape or better their conditioning. This is open to students from grades 3 to 6 and will take place at noon on days 1, 3, and 5. This is an excellent way to get hooked on a lifetime sport.
I will be starting track and field soon and preparing the students from grades 4, 5, and 6 for our upcoming track meet at Elie on Thursday, May 22nd which will also involve students from Elm Creek and St. Eustache. All students will be required to enter and participate in 2 running events and 2 field events and more information will follow about this later.
Hope you have been able to get outside and enjoy the start of our Manitoba Spring. Keep active and enjoy.
