Field Day T-Shirt - Order starting Monday, April 15!
Our annual Field Day is on May, 20th and this year's Field Day's theme is "Out of this World". This shirt was design by a talented Siegrist student. Part of the proceeds will help fund field day activities. Staff and volunteers can also order a shirt in light grey. Ordering will start on Monday, April 15th!
In House Skating Program during PE!
During May 6 - May 17, on your child's scheduled PE days he/she will be participating in an in-house skating program. Students may bring their own roller skates, rollerblades, and/or bike helmets from home if they prefer to use them, please do not go purchase these items as all will be provided. Helmets are not required but highly encouraged to bring if you have one.
Please make sure your child wears or brings socks!!! Tall socks are the best (if possible) to help prevent the skates from rubbing on their legs and ankles.
We are so excited for this upcoming experience for our students. Coach Crawford and Coach Stapleton
Still Need Volunteers for K-2 for Roller Skating
The PE Coach could really use a few volunteers May 6-17 helping our younger students from 12:15-2:45 p.m. with our roller skating program. Volunteers will be helping students find proper skate sizes, tying skates, holding students to balance and putting away skates in between classes. We would like volunteers to be available for the entire block of time if possible. If you are not able to stay please let us know prior to coming. Please email staplets@platteco.k12.mo.us if you have any questions.
Thank you, Coach Stapleton and Coach Crawford
