Basketball & Gus Macker Tournament

We are beginning our basketball unit.  The unit began with dribbling, ball handling, passing, and shooting.  I did mention a local 3-on-3 basketball tournament that is coming to CMU from April 27-28.  If you would like to know more about it click on the following link to read about it and access the registration:

I hope some girls and boys sign up so I can watch them in action.

JRFH Total $ Raised...

$2,226.30 which, in my opinion, blows away last year's McGuire donation of $1,776.00.  Thank you to all of you that donated to the American Heart Association during our Jump Rope for Heart month of February.  My goal was to beat last year's total.  Does this mean next year we will have to raise even more money?  We will have to make things exciting! :)

The fantastic fourth graders raised the most with $1,210!  Great job McGuire 4th graders!  Anna M. raised the most in the whole school with $325!

Thank you again for supporting the American Heart Association!

**JUMP ROPE FOR HEART**

Jump rope is under way and every year we ask for donation to the American Heart Association.  Packets have been sent home and although they are a little later this year we are still going to have our event.  Those snow/ice days really put a damper on our Jump Rope for Heart timeline.  I will be sending out McGuire's donation the week of March 4th, so I ask that all donations be turned in by Friday, March 1st.

Here is a great story of two boys that won the title 2012 SportsKids of the Year.  I found it inspirational.
