Spring has arrived and so to has a number of outdoor activities. Manitoba Marathon training is well underway at lunch hours and involves students from grades 3 to 6. Our track and field meet took place on May 22nd and went very well involving students from SFX, Elm Creek, St. Eustache and St. Laurent schools. Thanks to all those parents who helped out.
Students in grades 5 and 6 will be participating in a tennis baseball tournament at St. Eustache on Wednesday, June 4th. Tabloid day for students in grades 1 to 5 will take place on Wednesday, June 18th. The Manitoba Marathon will happen on Sunday, June 15th and good luck to all those runners.

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.

March Activities
Dear Parents, Students, and Guardians,
Well hopefully winter is coming to a quick end. I think many of us have experienced a lot of cabin fever over the last couple months. January and February were very busy with a number of activities taking place both at school and off the school site. March has a number of these activities coming to an end.
After school floor hockey which was taking place on Mondays and Thursdays will come to an end on March 17 th. Floor hockey intramurals for students in grades 1 through 6 are still on but should end either just before or after Spring Break.
The month of March brings with it the curling Brier in which our students in grades 4 , 5, and 6 were lucky enough to be selected to attend on the 10th of the month. Students in grades 6 also participated in a learn to curl program at the end of February.
Hopefully everyone has a relaxing Spring Break and has a chance to recharge the batteries over that time off.

February P.E. Activities
Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians,
February is going to be a busy month with a number of activities taking place both on and off site.On Tuesday, February 5th the grades 5 and 6 students from St. Eustache and St. Francois will be getting together for a floor hockey tournament that morning. Sometime over the month of February the grade 6 will participate in a learn to curl program put on by curling Manitoba. On February 21st students in grades 4, 5, and 6 will be going to Fort Whyte Nature Centre and get active in a winter carnival day which will involve snowshoeing. toboganning, and many other activities.
All students from grades 1 to 6 who signed up are currently involved in floor hockey intramurals. The grades 4, 5, and 6 are also participating in basketball intramurals during lunch recess on the days I am not here.
After school basketball will come to an end on Monday, February 4th and will be replaced by floor hockey starting Monday, February 11th. I am anticipating a high number of students staying back for this activity and will likely have to split the 2 days. Mondays will be for students in grades 5 and 6 who wish to stay after school and play while grade 3 and 4 students can stay on Thursdays. Both days will run from 3:30 to 4:45.
Should you have any question about the P.E. program or any of the extra-curricular activities, please do not hesitate to give me a call.
Sincerely,
R. Piche

November Activities
Dear Students and Parents,
Halloween has come and gone and we are now starting to get ready for the cold weather. Students in grades 1 to 4 participated in a Halloween circuit and games last week. Many thanks to the grade 6 students who helped run the stations. Students over the month of November will be involved in fitness circuits, movement skills , and a wide variety of games and activities.
Our intramural program is still underway with indoor soccer coming to an end soon for the grade 1 to 3 students an volleyball wrapping up for the grade 4 to 6 students. Once these intramurals are finished we will begin a new set of intramurals for both groups.
After school volleyball will conclude on November 20th. After school basketball will begin as soon as we return from Christmas break and will also be 2 days a week from 3:30 to 4:45. More information will become available before we leave for break.
Students in grades 5 and 6 are reminded to return their ' I Love To Run ' activity calendars from October by Friday, November 9th. I strongly encourage all students and families to stay active over the winter months. Keep fit and stay warm.

Mr. Piches October Blog
Dear Students and Parents,
School is nicely underway and students have begun participating in a number of extra-curricular activities. Students from grades 1 to 3 are participating in indoor soccer intramurals on days 1 and 3 while students in grades 4 to 6 are participating in volleyball intramurals on days 3 and 5. It is nice to see that about 90 percent of the student population signed up for intramurals.
We are well into the cross-country running season and currently have over 20 students from grades 4,5,and 6 training for a provincial cross country meet on Thursday, October 18. Students need to run in at least 10 of the 15 training sessions in order to qualify for the run.
Our volleyball season is now underway and it was great to see 28 kids at the first 2 sessions. A reminder that practices take place every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30 to 4:45. Students need a permission form every time they are going to stay. Forms can be obtained from the office or from myself.
Students in grades 5 and 6 are reminded to log their physical activity over the month of October using their I Love To Run charts. Parents are asked to support and encourage their children in following and pursuing healthy lifestyle practices.
Should parents have any quesstions regarding the physical education program I encourage you to phone or stop in and see me at the school. Have a great October.
