We are into the "stretch run" for this school year! It seems like only yesterday when the students assembled in the Old Gym for Mr. Windsor's greeting of students to open school.
Many things are still coming up, and I think I speak for the staff when I say that this has been a great year in all areas !!!
I would like to take this opportunity to personally commend our "Class of 2009" for not only being a very mature bunch, but at the same time, demonstrating to the 7th and 6th graders what conduct at school should be like!!!!!
Our P.E. classes are well into units on soccer and badminton (and softball in 6th grade). Our recently completed units on pickleball and table tennis went well, as did our new activity of "Cornhole" (bags). And yes, the term "Cornhole" came from the game's beginnings with players inserting corn kernels into bags that were then tossed into the hole thus scoring points!!
Our Spring sport teams are continuing to post wins in soccer, volleyball, and softball, even with the shaky weather for those teams playing outside!!
Just a reminder to our 8th graders regarding Summer high school camps. Registration is in full force at all schools in all sports! Get signed up and out in front of your coaches for next season !!!
Downers Grove South Dance Team (Fillies and Pintos) will be having tryouts shortly! It is important that you get a registration packet (on-line from DGS or from Mr. Dodd). There is tons of information, with forms needing to be filled out and signed by participants and parents !!
Have a great week, and......................
GO SPARTANS ............ PLAY HARD !!!
