MARCH 18, 2008

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Our Physical Education classes are currently involved with Table Tennis and Pickleball units. Singles and doubles tourneys are moving along in all the respective 6th, 7th, and 8th grade classes. In additiion, certain 6th grade classes are also playing wiffleball.

Following Spring Break (3 days and counting), our classes will begin Soccer and Badminton. This schedule will be flexible due to our great midwestern weather.


ATHLETICS

In my last blog, I inadvertently ommited Miss Jennifer Casey and her Varsity cheerleaders for their efforts during our just-completed season. Even though coaches and players are concentrating on the game, it is easy to know when the Spartans cheerleaders are there.
GREAT JOB LADIES!!!!

Tomorrow evening marks the official end to the Winter sports seasons with the annual awards banquet. Cheerleaders and basketball teams will be recognized for their accomplishments this past year, with catering through Carrabas in Woodridge.

Tryouts for our Spring sports are (or will soon be) under way. I would like to take this opportunity to wish our Spring athletes in all sports "GOOD LUCK".

With Spring "supposed" to be here, many peoples thoughts turn to baseball....mine included. In looking at the National League, I find it interesting that the Cubs do not face the Cardinals until May 2nd in St. Louis, and August 8th in Chicago. Which team will be eliminated by their first meeting in May??? Mr. Little, your thoughts???????
