Bus Safety

This Tuesday all grades will be spending gym times reviewing safety issues and the rules when on the bus. Students will also practice an evacuation drill at the end of class. Please review these rules with your children. The bus lanes are just for buses; please be sure to walk your children across to the sidewalk as buses can not always see everywhere around them.

Another note:
Halloween parties and parade around Elizabeth Ide will be this Thursday in the afternoon.

Get a grip!

Thanks to Mr. O' Shea, the rock wall was put up last year in the gym at Elizabeth Ide. Students will be practicing safe climbing techniques over the next week. Students were also able to access the wall and the climbing ropes during gym night! Gym night had over 100 students signed up and a record number of parents volunteer. Thank you to all who helped make it a success!

Gym Night

Gym Night will be this Friday (October 16th) from 5:45 until 8:00pm. Students will have an opportunity to go to each station, and show their skills in various activities. Some activities have been introduced during gym class while others have not yet. I am looking forward to seeing a lot of students having fun this Friday!

Fitness Fun

Fitness is a life long concept and good habits start early. Students are learning about the different types of fitness through games and fitness testing. First grade is learning how to take their heart rate and feel for a pulse. Students in first and second are able to experience the difference in their heart rate before and after exercising!
