Alien Inline: As part of our Physical Education program this year Christina Gordon students from Grades K-6 will have the opportunity to enhance their physical literacy skills and locomotor abilities with the ever popular Alien Inline program. The residency will run from January 20-30th, with Family Nights taking place in the evenings of January 28th and 29th. Alien Inline is a traveling inline skating program that brings inline skating gear to schools. Students will have the opportunity to learn and demonstrate varying forward and stopping strategies on inline skates as well as participate in a variety of skill testing fun games! This program is graciously covered by our wonderful Fundraising Association at Christina Gordon and thus is no cost to any student here. All students will be participating in the program. Attached is the modified Phys. Ed. schedule for their residency. Please take note of when your student has their session should you wish to send a helmet. While Alien Inline does provide helmets, students are STRONGLY encouraged to bring their own helmet if they have one. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact our Phys. Ed. teacher, Lindsey Greatrix (lindsey.greatrix@fmpsd.ab.ca).
