Edgelea 4th grade Basketball Tournament October 5
I have attached our tournament schedule for 10/5. The girls tournament will start first at 10:00 am (in yellow below) and the boys will start at 11:30. We will only have 3 courts to work with al days so each tournament should take roughly 2-2.5 hours from start to finish and every team will get a guaranteed 2 games minimum. If you have any questions let me know. We are planning on parents providing transportation to and from the tournament. Please let the coach know if your child will not be playing in the tournament.
Yellow are all girls games and blue are all boys games. Games will start every 45 minutes to keep the tournament moving. We will need parent volunteers to help with clock and score for each game. I will work to have some high school kids there to help as well if parents are unwilling to help out. We will present a trophy to the winning team at the end of the championship games. That trophy will be kept at the winning school until we play again next year.
Tournament Rules for Refs:
Call all out of bounds – hasn’t been happening consistently so far
Call fouls that effect the dribble or shot – 4th graders often fall over their own feet, but we want to make sure they know what fouls are as well so please make sure we are calling them.
Call travels that take more than 2 steps – They are still learning, but we cannot allow a kid to run all the way down the court without dribbling.
Walk to School Day October 2
We would like to encourage students who live in the Edgelea Elementary School neighborhood to join us for Walk to School Day. Students are invited to participate in a StoryWalk around the Edgelea Elementary School. The StoryWalk will begin at the car drop off area and continue aound the playground. Volunteers will be located along the pathway to read pages from a book and to guide students through the StoryWalk. Bus riders and car riders will be guided by volunteers to join in as well.
We want to make sure all of our students are safe during Walk to School Day. Please do not send your student to school earlier than 7:45 a.m. Crossing guards and volunteers will be at their checkpoints at 7:45 a.m. Extra volunteers will be available in the morning as students walk to school, but not after school. Please make sure your child knows how they are getting home at the end of the day. If weather is bad, we will not be able to participate in Walk to School Day.

Edgelea Fund Raiser
We are raising money for our school with donations. You may donate by clicking on the link below. Children will receive 1 agua COOP keychain for every donation made on the website link. Some people have inquired about making a one time donation to Edgelea. We will gladly accept the donation. For each cash donation of $10, we will be able to give your child 1 Coop. Please mark the envelop clearly so that know which child is being credited for the donation.
What do we spend the donations on? Last year we had a successful fund raiser. We were able to have the Jungle Jim Animal Show for the entire school. We purchased the two new sensory paths in our hallways. We did a school wide gingerbread house STEM project last December. We also had two bounce houses, water balloons, and popsicles for field day and purchased playground balls, jump ropes, Frisbees. We also helped support classroom field trips, and much more.
This year, with most of our funds, we will be rewarding students with good behavior. Each 9 weeks, we will have incentive parties. Our first party is on October 4th. We will have a
big Monster Mash party coming up on October 4th. See photos below for more details about this upcoming event.
Our school funding from the state of Indiana is very restricted. We are not allowed to purchase any type of food or fun activities unless it is with school fundraising.
