Spotlight on Co-Curriculars

This week: PE

February was a busy month in PE class! K-8 classes began the month preparing for the Super Bowl with Fowling (football bowling) in the gym. It was fun to throw footballs and see if our skill/luck paid off. Congratulations to the only students who threw strikes (all 10 pins down with 1 throw) in the 2026 Super Fowl in the gym: James C. in 2C, Clara K in 3S, and Daniel C. in 6B. Also, congratulations to the 6C fowling team with the best record of 5 wins during their PE class time: Cole I., Luke S., and Kieran M. These boys received their Super Fowl (candy) rings! The 5th graders have been busy dancing all month and learning many different ballroom dances in Dance Moves STL (formerly called Dancing Classrooms). We cannot wait to see them perform in April! K & 1 students had a lesson on handwashing while the students in 2nd + 3rd grade worked on their coordination with juggling. Upperclassmen participated in a basketball unit. And, of course, we had to enjoy some PE winter Olympic games here in the gym while the Olympics were actually taking place in Milan! K-8 students competed in a torch running relay, slalom skiing, curling, speed skating, and a few classes even competed in ice hockey. The US definitely won the most (imaginary) gold medals! I am so proud of ALL our outstanding athletes, supportive teammates, and good sports that worked hard and played hard in the gym this past month!
