PE News!
Dear Merrimac School Community,
Happy New Year! I have had SO much fun getting to know your students - they are a WONDERFUL group! So far this year we have covered A LOT of activities.... We started out by working on
team building activities with a focus on teamwork and communication and your students excelled. We have since finished units in soccer, handball, pickleball, and we are now playing basketball (we love that basketball). Although I only have a couple more classes left before my maternity leave starts, we
are making the most of our time together and having so much fun! Basketball scrimmages start next week so students should wear those sneakers and be ready to sweat!
Mrs. Cole :)
