K-4th Grade students will gain experience using the Lacrosse stick, cradling, scooping, passing and catching. 2nd - 4th grade students will also play non-contact games focused on teamwork and strategy. Did you know that the game of Lacrosse was originally played by Native Americans? We look forward to a fun week ahead.

Chilli Start to the New Year 1/3/12

I truly hope you all had a wonderful winter break. I had a great time taking it easy with my family here in good old St. Pete. Wow we finally received that cold weather we've all been hearing about! Due to this cold weather, we plan to use our indoor spaces for at least Tuesday and Wednesday. We will get the students moving and active through group games in the Rec Gym. Coach Every's classes will begin our kickball unit at the end of this week or at the start of next week. Here's to a great New Year!
