Calling all OUES Runners! We will meet at 7:45 AM on Saturday, March 3rd at Bicentennial Park to do the "Run in the Park". Even if you are not in the Jogging Club, please join us. Packet pick-up is this week at Luke's Locker in Colleyville. Online registration closes February 29. 
*There is no Jogging Club practice this week, so I will see you at the race.


Thank you for your participation in Jump Rope for Heart 2012! We had a fun day of exercise with our families and friends. In addition, we collected over $3,000 to help those with heart disease. The final amounts are still being totaled. Thank you gifts will arrive in early April.


Our basketball unit has begun. This week we will continue working on dribbling and passing skills. 3rd and 4th grade students will be assessed on the Flexed Arm Hang (chin hold). The test measures arm strength.

Gear up for Field Day 2012, May 25, at Dragon Stadium! It is going to be an awesome experience for Team OUES as we head off for the summer. Please make plans to help volunteer for the day. In order to ensure the safety and success of all students on that day, we will need extra volunteers to support the event.

Attention Running Club! We will do the Race in the Park on March 3 at 8:00 AM. I would love for all of the families to participate with the OUES team in this 5K event. Registration is $18/entrant online at www.active.com. The race will be held at Bicentennial Park right here in Southlake. Don't miss out on the fun and exercise!  More details about the meeting spot, packet pick-up, etc. at our next meeting, 2/21.


Jump Rope for Heart is almost here! Donation envelopes will be collected on 2/20 for those who volunteered to help the Heart Association. We still need 10 more online registrants (as well as 10 emails each) to earn our $100 US Games certificate. Please help out if you can (the messages just have to be sent-donation is not required).
Come see your children show off their jump rope tricks during class on 2/20 and 2/21. You are also invited to participate in the activity stations.


The final FitnessGram assessment, the flexed arm hang, will be the last week in February. This measures upper body arm strength. I am proud of all of the students and their work on the tests. The results will be provided in an informative report in the last report card.
