February 26th to March 11th

      February 26th to March 11th.  This week all students will be participating in throwing stations in preparation for the games pin ball and pumpkin ball which require constant throwing and communication.  The students will be provided with a foam ball, football, soccer ball, Frisbee, and gator ball throwing stations.  They will practice accuracy at different targets on high, medium, and low levels.  After practicing throwing the students will play a fun fast pace game of pin ball in which they have to knock their opponents bowling pins down with precision throws using safety foam gator balls.  They will also use their accuracy skills to participate in pumpkin ball in which the students have to throw the foam safe gator balls at a giant beach ball to move it into their opposing teams area. The students will also participate in a shuttle run fitness test to asses their agility skills.

      I would also like to thank everyone that participated in Jump Rope For Heart.  Thank you so much for your donations to such a good cause.  As a school NSE raised over $6,000!!!  We beat our goal by over a thousand dollars.  I look forward to continuing this fundraiser next year and setting the bar even higher.  (The prizes will be distributed within the next 6 weeks along with Bowling for Kids Sake Prizes)  Thanks again for the support.
