September Fitness Tips....

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Anyone can be affected, including children. Heart disease occurs as a result of the build-up of a substance called plaque in the arteries. Overtime this can cause atherosclerosis, a disease in which the arteries narrow and harden resulting in a reduction of blood flow to the heart. Below is a calendar of activities that can help get you moving when at home or on the go. 

Parents each month we will post a monthly calendar related to fitness tips and ideas.  We challenge you to print it each month, post it on your refrigerator, and complete each daily activity together as a family.  Together lets model eating healthy foods and being active even if it's just a walk around the block.  

Welcome to Cub PE...

Last week was a great first week of PE/Fitness getting to know our new students and seeing our familiar friends back at school.  We spent this time reviewing our PE/Fitness rules and expectations. 

1. Be Safe

2. Be Respectful of others and the equipment

3. Wear your gym shoes

Parents please see the below schedule so that you can ensure that your child/children come to PE/Fitness wearing the appropriate clothes/shoes. 

Finally, parents here’s the school menu link so you can check with is being served for both breakfast and lunch each day....http://schools.mealviewer.com/ 

It’s going to be a fabulous year!  Remember just a little walk after dinner is a great way to end on a healthy note.  Thank you for sharing your children with us!

Field Day moved to the Spring

Christie Families,

After much deliberation we have decided to postpone Field Day until late spring. With the forecast of heavy rain this afternoon, as well as a high ranging between 54-57 degrees during the morning Field Day events; we don’t feel it would be a safe environment for our students. As many of you know, Field Day often includes water games as well as other fun activities that would not be able to take place with tomorrow’s weather. We want to thank you for understanding, and we look forward to having this event later on this year!

Christie Elementary

Field Day Oct. 30th postponed till Nov. 6th

All,

Due to the forecast calling for heavy rain tomorrow, field day will be postponed until next Friday. Unfortunately, at this time, it looks like it may rain next week as well. If it rains heavily starting on Wednesday of next week, we will once again postpone field day until May. We want to thank you all so much for your understanding – fingers crossed we have a sunny week next week!
