A fun trip to the skating rink is a fantastic way for 6th graders to bond, enjoy some physical activity, and create lasting memories. These outings not only offer a break from the traditional classroom setting but also promote social interaction and physical fitness. Skating is not just fun; it helps improve balance, coordination and provides a healthy outlet for energy. We hope this experience was a memorable one!
Fifth grade celebrated the holiday season with some "choice time". Students were able to choose between extra recess, quiet, or skating time. Here are some moments captured by the students who chose skating. Skating is not only a fun physical activity but also a great way for them to enjoy each other's company and create lasting memories.
Happy Holidays from Mrs. Merry's kindergarten class!
