Brighton High Track - Fun Run- Friday, October 4th

We've arranged to take a walking field trip to Brighton High School to run the mile at the track for Presidential Physical Fitness. Students have been practicing since the first week of school and are building their endurance for this test day.

Afterwards we'll stop for a picnic at the pavilion behind CHRC on the way home. Please put this event on your calendars and expect a tired kid;)

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer Opportunites

It was nice to meet many of you last week at Open House. Thanks for everyone who was able to sign the volunteer lists. Many of you expressed an interest in volunteering in our classroom. I have some volunteer opportunities that need to be filled soon. Take a look and email me soon. I'll work with your availability.

• Would anyone like to share the responsibility as a Co-Room Parent position with Julie Badger? You would be the liaison between PTA sponsored activities and our classroom.  You'll receive a list of parents who are able to volunteer, so you can get help with your assignments. There is a Room Parent Orientation coming up soon where you'll learn about what you'll need to help with throughout the year. 
• I need someone to come into the classroom to help me with some "new school year" paperwork. Each student has some documents that need to be sorted, tracked and filed into folders. 
• I would love to have someone come on Friday afternoons to score spelling tests and help other odds and ends from the week.
• We have started practicing for our Presidential Fitness Tests. Some of these tests are one by one, so it involves a lot of waiting around on the students' part. I thought it would be much more fun this year if someone could come in and lead half the class in a P.E. activity, while I test the other half . Then we'll switch. You would be working with about 12 or 13 students at a time. Our P.E. time is on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 2:15-2:45. Therefore, you would have each group for about 15 minutes.
• When we test for the Fitness tests, we would like to have some volunteers help with that as well. The testing will happen at the end of September or beginning of October. Details will follow.

Thank you for your time. We need you, and additional opportunities will come up if you can't help with any of these. My email is nancy.bauman@canyonsdistrict.org

5th Grade Bobcat Goals - Please review. I would love for all students to receive Bobcat this year! You'll work on the last section with your student. The rest, we track at school.
