Hey GES! This week in P.E., we re-introduced the rock climbing wall. Imitating rock climbing allows students to focus on balance, flexibility, mental endurance, and physical strength. It is a great “full body” activity. Not only is it great for physical health but it encourages students to use problem solving skills while sometimes conquering some fears that they might have. The sense of accomplishment students experience when they reach the end goal is priceless! Way to go GES!

Last week, K-5 GES students took part in the bi-annual mile run. They were responsible for completing 5 laps around our outdoor track. We had some really impressive times! Congrats to Mason McDaniel and Pierce Schlottach for the top times for male athletes as well as the top overall school times. They both came in with a hot 8:32 mile time. Congrats to our top female finisher, Melanie Goodman, with a time of 8:49. Oh, what’s the best part about running the mile in Kindergarten? Getting to play on the “big kid” playground afterwards of course! Heather Schlottach

Hey GES!! It's been quite some time since I posted to our page! What a slacker I am! I hope that you have all had a great summer! I can't wait to see all of your smiling faces as we get back into the swing of things. As most of you already know, school is going to look a bit different this year. P.E. will espeically look different because of social distancing and limited equipment use. We will have more time in specials classes this year. P.E. will be 50 minutes instead of 30 minutes this year. It is very important that you wear appropriate clothing and shoes when it's your day to come to P.E. We will be working really hard to recondition our bodies and minds after such a long absence. Enjoy the rest of your summer break and I'll see you soon! Love, Coach Hunt!

If you are finding that it is hard to stay creatively active, I have attached a link to a fun May fitness challenge calendar. Have fun, stay safe, and Ill see you soon! -Coach Hunt ✌️

Hey GES! I hope everyone is doing well! Wow, we are getting some nice weather this week. Get out and take advantage of it. Personally, I have been fishing A LOT!!! I have also been trying my luck at turkey hunting. No bird yet! Stay tuned!

I have received several completed fitness tracker sheets from your teachers. I am super impressed with the amount of work and activities you guys are completing. It's so important to stay active during this pandemic and I commend all of you that have been! Way to go!
