JUMP ROPE CLUB CALENDAR NOTE
There will be no Jump Rope Club on Monday, October 17th. And because of the Pumpkin Patch, there will be no Jump Rope Club the week of October 24th.
JUMP ROPE CLUB 2011-12
Every Monday through Thursday morning, starting October 12, the gymnasium will be open at 7:40 a.m. for students interested in participating in a jump rope program. Participants will try to complete skills at three levels; beginning, intermediate and advanced. It is hoped that students will benefit and obtain greater cardiovascular fitness and coordination.
Because safety is of our utmost concern, we will not be able to host all grades everyday in jump rope club. Jumpers will need to abide by the jump rope club calendar. For the most part, 2nd and 3rd graders are invited to jump on Mondays and Wednesdays and 4th and 5th graders are invited to jump on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The calendar may change as we go through the school year, so it will be imperative that you watch your calendars. I apologize for the inconvenience this calendar may cause families who have multiple aged children. But, this is really the only way we can have jump rope club in a safe manner. As this is to be on a drop-in basis only, students are welcome to attend when their schedule permits. Students interested in participating are to report directly to the gym and stay in the gym until 8:37 a.m. Each child must have a signed permission slip in order to participate.
