Hi Folks,
I hope everyone had a wonderful summer despite all the rain we had. It is good to be back and am just dropping a line to give you some information on upcoming activities and dates. As in the past I will start off with cross-country running for any students from grades 4, 5, and 6 who are interested. Training will take place on days 1, 3, and 5 at 11:45 before the students eat. Runners will be training for 1 or 2 meets over the course of the season. If students would like to train and not do the meets that is fine also.
Our annual Terry Fox Run will take place on Friday, September 24th at 1 pm. Parents are more than welcome to join us for this event. Once again we will be asking for loonies and toonies towards fighting this disease.
Following cross-country running students in grades 4, 5, and 6 will be able to participate in lunch hour intramurals. These intramurals will take place from mid October until Spring Break and will encompass everything from volleyball, basketball, handball, floor hockey, etc. All intramurals will take place on days 1, 3, and 5 from 12:10 to 12:45.
Finally I will be continuing on with our after school activities this year. Students in grades 4, 5, and 6 will be able to develop their skills in volleyball, basketball, and floor hockey. All sessions will take place on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:15 to 4:30. Students will need permission forms from parents for each day they are staying and all students must be picked up at 4:30. Our first volleyball session will be Monday, October 6th.
Should you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me at the school.

Spring 2010
Hi Folks,
Mother Nature gave us a fairly decent winter and appears to be starting Spring in the same manner. Term 2 was extremely busy with a number of activities happening both on and off site. Judging by the reaction of the students all were enjoyed.
Our final term is not nearly as busy as our after school activities have come to an end and our intramurals are winding down except for grade 6 badminton. Following the grade 6 badminton tournament, students in grades 3, 4, 5, and 6 will be able to participate in Manitoba Marathon training. Training will take place on days 1, 3, and 5 at 11:45. All runners will be training for the 2.6 mile super run which will be held on Fathers Day at the University of Manitoba. Our tentative training start date is Tuesday, April 27th. This is a great opportunity to improve their fitness levels, cardiovascular endurance, and obtain a love of running. It is also a wonderful way to cross train for any other sports they participate in. Parents are always welcome to join.
As for the past 3 years I am looking at running a track and field meet for students in grades 4, 5, and 6. Our students will be competing against students from other schools in various running and field events. I have tentatively set this for Friday, May 28th at the high school in Elie. Finally I am hoping to have a baseball tournament with our grade 5/6 students and the students from St. Eustache. This would happen sometime in June. Students from both schools would be mixed into teams and would compete against the other teams rather than the schools.
I would like to thank those parents, alumni, etc. who helped with various activities throughout the year both on site and off site. Please feel free to stop in and see me should you have any questions or call me at 864-2868 during school hours. Stay active and enjoy life.

Winter Activities
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.

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.
