Spring Assistance

With warm weather approaching and thoughts of summer filling our heads, it is an appropriate time to discuss the need for our students to remain focused, well rested and well prepared for school. There is much learning to take place yet this year and many projects to finish up in the classrooms. We ask that parents please try to keep as normal a schedule as possible knowing that numerous sports activities and practices are occurring during this time. As we all know, students who maintain a consistent schedule, are well nourished and rested do much better than those who do not maintain these standards. So let’s work together to make the end of the year a huge success for all of us!! As always, we continue to thank God for our wonderful students and strong parental support.

THANK YOU!

I wish to express a heartfelt thank you to all of you for your generous support of our Spring Scurry. We had a wonderful afternoon building community, playing fun games, dancing, and enjoying time with friends.  Special thanks to all parent volunteers who assisted Friday – sharing your time and talents with us is greatly appreciated. I know the kiddos looked rather tired when they left for the day – I hope they rested well!

FUN DAY - MARK YOUR CALENDAR!

Our annual Fun Day will be held on Friday, June 7 in the PM. Please look for details. As always, parents are invited to join us for the afternoon.

Fun in the Wellness Room

By: Liliana Asta, 5th grader at OLG

Hello everyone! I hope you had a great Easter! But now that we’re back at school, we’ve got some great news for you. Quite recently, St. Anthony and OLG students first tried out the new wellness room in our St. Anthony building. Our wellness center was funded by last year’s Spring Scurry and the Parent Association, so thank you to all who contributed. The school wellness center is a wonderful place to exercise and practice fitness and awareness of physical health.

The room features many pieces of exercise equipment such as exercise bikes, treadmills, balance beams and trampolines. As a student, I know we don’t usually get to use exercise equipment during P.E. class, so it’s great to have the opportunity to use the equipment. When my class was using the wellness room on Monday, our P.E. instructor, Mr. Tigges, talked to us a little bit about how to improve our fitness level and also about the cardiovascular system and how it works. We all know exercise is good for you, but it’s interesting to learn about how exercising really affects our bodies.

Thank you again to everyone who contributed to this project in any way. We are sure this wellness room will be a great addition to our Physical Education program and a great addition to our campus. Thanks!
