This is one of my favorite events of the school year! The three top 5th grade hockey teams play against select staff members in a JUST for FUN tournament.

Mrs. Reagan and the Eagle Fit Team: Mrs. VanKoevering, Mrs. Nienhuis, Mrs. VandenBerg, Mrs. Bretz, Mrs. Walenta, Mrs. Brouwer, Mrs. Reifschneider, Mrs. Burdis, Miss Burmeister and Mrs. Bouwens.

I would like to invite you to visit our art, music and pe teacher’s blogs. They are filled with great information about the curriculum and instruction that takes place in these very important classrooms. I included a few highlights to peak your curiosity!
Did you know that PE and technology tools go together? Read how the PE teachers incorporated the promethean response clickers into their nutrition unit:
