What an amazing week we have had so far.  So many Goal Getters, it is absolutely wonderful!!

MONDAY JR. HIGH-2:45-3:30
WEDNESDAY SOUTH-2:45-3:30

We really didn't do much except go over rules, expectations, passed out some papers for the families to set their own goals, a recipe for peanut butter muffins and let them experiment with some of the new equipment that we now have!!!!
We have a total of about 65 Goal Getters in the Spring Session. 

FRIDAY WE WERE AT THE YMCA-2:30-4:30

We did our assessments at the Y this time which worked out pretty well. The kids were timed for a 1/2 mile, push-ups and how long they could hold a plank.  It was awesome to see some of the past Goal Getters improve on their times.  I can't wait to show them how far they have come.

Thanks again to Mr. Nick, Mr. Daniel, Ms Jenny, another Y helper and I'm sorry I don't remember your name, I will find out what it is and put it in.  Also thanks to Mrs. Nicholas and the YMCA for letting our group come and workout. 


This coming week we will be working with Jump Ropes and Cones.... no not just jumping rope and running around cones, different ways you can use a jump rope and cones to get a real good workout. 
Friday March 22, 2013 we will be going to Chenoweth Trails so pickup time is 4:30 at the Jr. High. We are going to try and be back the the Jr. High as close as we can to 4:30 but I can't control the roads and if we get behind some slow traffic, it will put us a little behind so I am going to say give or take 10-15 minutes. 


Here are some pictures from today that I thought not only the parents but the kids would enjoy:

FRIDAY MARCH 15, 2013 WE WILL BE AT THE YMCA.  PICK UP WILL BE AT 4:30 AT THE Y.  REMEMBER THAT THE STUDENTS MAY WANT TO PACK A SNACK TO EAT BEFORE WE WORKOUT.  SEE YOU THEN

Okay, even though we have a snow day today..............GO OUT AND HAVE FUN IN THE SNOW!!!!!
HAVE A SNOWBALL FIGHT, BUILD A TUNNEL, GO SLEDDING, MAKE SNOW ANGELS.  DON'T LET THIS COLD KEEP YOU INSIDE ALL DAY.  



                                                                      

  

LAST WEEK THE EARLY BIRD HAD THE WRONG TIME FOR PICK-UP ON FRIDAYS:  CORRECT INFORMATION-ON FRIDAYS:
IF WE GO TO THE TRAILS PICK-UP WILL BE AT THE JR. HIGH AT 4:30 GIVE OR TAKE A FEW MINUTES,

 IF WE GO TO THE YMCA PICK-UP IS 4:30 AT THE YMCA

ALSO ON FRIDAYS, THE STUDENTS MAY WANT TO PACK AN AFTER-SCHOOL SNACK

Even though the deadline is today for sign-up, no student will be denied so if at anytime a student wants to join, they are more than welcome to.

The Greenville Goal Getter team is hoping to have another Family Swim Night to end the Spring Session.  Details will follow at a later date.

I am hoping to get the families more involved this session. I will be sending home challenges with the students so their families can also be involved. 
The picnic was a big hit so I am going to try to get that organized so we can have it again. I am also going to try to get families together and meet over in Gettysburg to walk the bike/walking trail.  

I really hope the kids enjoy another session of the Greenville Goal Getters.  If any one has ideas or suggestions, please feel free to contact me at South Middle School.
