Jump Rope Class Champions

We will have a jump off before school on Thursday, April 18.  We had the students inside before school, which makes it impossible to give the jumpers enough room.

Volleyball School Champions are...

This morning before school we were able to hold the championship volleyball game it was

Show Offs

vs.

The Show Offs

The sixth grade team from Ms. Mako's room won.  The team captain was Oaklie and the other team members were Kelsey, Lindsay, Deontae', Dylan, and Micaiah - I spelled it correctly :).

The fifth grade class champions were from Mrs. Spayd's class and were led by captain Maggie P.  the rest of her team consisted of Zack, Angel R., Carlos, and Kaleb.  You've got it next year!

The first game was close 15-11.  During the second game the sixth graders took an early lead to dominate 15-3.

This document will also be posted in the gym.  This is a great opportunity to learn skills and meet new people.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

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.

Jump Rope for Heart Challenges Results

Our jump rope event is coming to a close.  I am accepting donations for the American Heart Association until this Friday, March 1st.  I will always take donations after that date, I just prefer to send all of the donations out at the same time. 

On our event day we were able to have several different jump rope contests.  Here are the results:
