Spring at last..

It has been a little while since our last post. We just wrapped up our volleyball unit. It was awesome. We spent a couple days on some of the "striking skills" (overhead pass and forearm pass), and then we were able to get into some modified games. All the grade levels really got into the games, and they did an outstanding job working with their team mates.

Before that we flew through a decent number of other units- Dance, Jump Rope, and gymnastics. Once again, the Davis students did excellent in all three of these units. The dance unit was a nice surprise- Mrs. Lawson, who is the PE teacher at Keheley and former teacher here, came back for a surprise visit. She taught us some interesting dances! The students had a great time with her.

Up next in the world of PE- 4th and 5th graders are starting up Lacrosse. K-3rd graders are taking a little bit of time to review kicking, and get into some games that incorporate our skills!

We have a couple really big things to get some information out for-

1.) Field Day! Look for some info soon. Once again we will be looking for parent volunteers. With out you guys there is no way field day would be the success it has been over the last couple years!

2.) This one is especially important to me- we are going to be doing a fundraiser for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF). All proceeds raised will go straight to the CFF and will be used for research, care, and treatment of those living with CF. You can check out their web site http://www.cff.org/ , and/or if you'd like check out my page on the Great Strides Walk- to benefit the CFF: http://www.cff.org/Great_Strides/BryanAndJenniferJonesLook for more information about this as well, and please think about volunteering to help!

If you are interested helping out with either one of our events to come please e-mail me! at bryan.jones@cobbk12.org

thanks and look forward to hearing from you!
