2010-11 JUMP ROPE CLUB
Every Monday through Thursday morning, starting October 11, the gymnasium will be open at 7:30 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.
SCHEDULE CHANGE:
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.

Jump Rope Club Performance at Dow High School - Feb. 2nd
We are very excited for Tuesday night’s performance at Dow High School. Basically, we will follow the same procedure as last Monday. The boy’s varsity game is scheduled to start at approximately 7:30 pm. We are meeting in the Green gym (the new gym) at Dow High no later than 7:15 pm. Mr. Davis, the athletic director, would like you to use the door on the west side of the building – in the new entrance. Please feel free to park in that parking lot as well.
I will have bottled water for the jumpers following their performance.
Jumpers are invited to wear their Woodcrest shirts to school on Monday.
Please do not hesitate to contact me.
