Roller Skating in PE (Grades 3-5)
Beginning on _3/2/2020_, our 3rd-5th grade Physical Education classes will be
participating in an in-house skating program. This skating unit is being implemented because of its emphasis as a ‘Lifetime Activity’. Skating provides a variety of benefits, which include balance, coordination, motor skills, and a top rated cardio-respiratory workout. Students will also learn basic skills such as starting, stopping, forward skating, and a number of safety tips for being a smart skater.
The fee for this unit will be $ _5_for quad skates. The fee includes delivery and pickup of the equipment as well as the use of the skates for _3_ days of skating during normal P.E. Class. Please have your child return their permission slip with the fee (check made payable to school) by _2/28/2019_.
If you have questions, please contact Mrs. McGoun (mmcgoun@brownsburg.k12.in.us).

Parents of 4th and 5th Grade Students – Each 4th and 5th grade student will participate in a Social Health Program during the month of March.

Parents are invited to preview these films at the Administration Office located at 310 Stadium Drive (Please enter through Door #7 on the back side of the building) on Monday, March 2, 2020 at 6:00.
