School Boards Lead so Students Can Achieve

• In honor of School Board Recognition Month the students and staff would like to thank you, our school board members, for ongoing dedication and commitment to our school and our district! Pictured below are students Landyn Dulkoski, Peyton Roski, Danica Rensi, Trista Thompson, Ella Smith, Bristol Moore, and Garrett Wade holding a sign thanking our school board members.

• D.A.R.E. Officer Tony begins having classes for 3rd grade students.

• Mr. Bengier’s 4th grade science students are making different series and parallel circuits in order to light up the bulbs and make the motor run.

• Kids Of Steel

For the second consecutive year, Mrs. Burgey has implemented this wellness program into 3rd grade and it is becoming quite successful! The students engage in physical activity such as organized walks, games, and guided exercises. They also will have the pleasure of hosting guest speakers. Third grade learns about nutrition, why we stretch, fit for life, and hydration.

Traditionally, the Kids of Steel Program is a wellness program designed for schools to prepare for a “marathon” in Pittsburgh. Mrs. Burgey received permission from the KOS organization to remain on site in Hopedale. In the spring, the students will walk 1.5 to 2 miles in close proximity to the school and with a representative from KOS and show off our wellness! While training for their premier event, they our logging our physical activity at school. At the conclusion of the school year, 3rd grade will have logged a complete marathon -26.2 miles! Mrs. Burgey is working in conjunction with Mr. Palmer and incorporating many KOS activities within their scheduled gym time as well. Pictured below are students walking, learning how to use household items as fitness equipment, and the kids practicing training techniques such as dips during PE class.
