Well………..it’s time for the Kid’s Mini Martian Marathon!!!!!!!!!!!! Students from the running club will line up at the starting line this Saturday, April22nd!!! They will be running 1.2 miles at Ford Field in Dearborn. When they have finished the race, they will have completed a full Marathon!!! That’s 26.2 miles. Running Club begins in September each year for 4th and 5th graders. The runners log their mileage each week and by the time the Martian Marathon begins, they will already have run 25 miles. Add that to the 1.2 they will run this Saturday and it equals 26.2-a full marathon!! Congrats Runners!
4th Marking Period: K through 4th grade are working on throwing and catching and skipping. 5th grade is working on batting and stretching for their flexibility test!
Volleyball Team practice will begin in 3 weeks!
Healthy Tidbit:
-NOW IS THE TIME TO BECOME MORE ACTIVE! The weather is nicer and going outside is more fun due to the warm weather. Can you think of activities you can do to move your body?
How about: Jogging or walking around the block. Get your bike,skates, skate board or scooter and move around the block with it. Motorized items don’t count! Climb the monkey bars or swing on a swing.
Whatever you do, do it everyday – – at school AND at home!
-EXERCISE IS GOOD FOR YOUR BRAIN AND FOR TAKING TESTS! Touch your toes or do modified jumping jacks before taking a test – it wakes up your brain!
