IT'S A GREAT OCTOBER !!!!!

Hello Spartan fans....

With our first six weeks of school under our belts, I can not remember such a great stretch of BEAUTIFUL weather as we have had over the last two weeks!!!! Let's hope this is just a start towards a hopefully "MILD" Winter!!

The Spartans' football game at Downers Grove South was a rousing success on all levels....GREAT football game (unfortunately won by Eisenhower), beautiful weather, great crowd, outstanding performances by both bands, incredibly good performances by both cheerleading squads, as well as an opportunity for all parties to spend some time on the new field at D.G.S.!!!! It is my hope this year's game will only be the first in an annual event between the two schools!!!!!!

In P.E. class, 7th and 8th graders will be beginning their units on Flag Football, while the 6th graders continue to work through the units of Flag Football, Field Hockey, and Weight Training!!

Good Luck to all our Fall sports teams as they "drive" towards conference championships, as well as strong showings in the state tournaments!!!

Have a Great Week, and....................................

PLAY HARD!!!!!!! GO SPARTANS !!!!!!!!!!
