JUMP ROPE FOR HEART!!!!

       
    EASTVALLEY IS HELPING SAVE LIVES!                                                                                                                                               

Dear Parents,

On February 14, our school will be holding a Jump Rope for Heart event during school.  The students will be learning jump-rope skills and have the opportunity to fight heart disease, our nation’s No.1 killer by raising donations.

Donations will be given to the American Heart Association, which funds lifesaving research and educational programs for the prevention of heart disease.  Students will learn the value of physical activity while participating in this community service.  It all increases the understanding of the seriousness of heart disease and the lifelong health benefits of physical activity.  Students will also learn that they can make a difference while having fun.

Family and friends are welcome to support your child’s participation by making contributions.  Your child can also raise money online.  However, we ask that children do not go door-to-door or ask strangers for donations.  Our school will also earn gift certificates to purchase PE equipment, based on the amount we raise. 

Here’s how students can raise money online:

1. Go to:  www.heart.org/jump or www.heart.org/hoops  (Click on sign up)
2. Click on our state
3. Find your school name and click “Join this Team”
4. Set your fundraising goal
5. Fill out your information (username and password)
6. Click “Complete Registration”
7. To raise $, send emails to friends and family!  You can check your page to see the progress made!

 

This year, the American Heart Association will be giving strawberry scented pencils to the first 30 students to send 10 emails online!  Let’s see if our school can reach 300 emails sent!  Please see a worksheet on the back that can be turned in to Coach Albert to redeem the pencil.

 

In addition, any student that raises $100 or more will get to throw a pie in the face  OR slime Coach Albert on field day!  And any student that brings in a donation will be entered into a drawing for several mystery prizes.  Let’s see if we can reach our school goal of $5,000!

If your employer has a matching gift program, please indicate the matched amounts on the Sponsor Form of the collection envelope.  Please return all collection envelopes by Friday, February 17^th.  Please make any checks payable to the American Heart Association.  Thank you for your support of this community service project.

Sincerely,

Coach Albert

Welcome Back to P.E!!!

Dear Parents and Students,

Welcome back to Eastvalley Elementary. My name is Coach Albert your child’s physical education teacher. This year, I will be encouraging your child to learn how to be physically active in ways that assist their physical, social, emotional and cognitive development and abilities. It is my goal to develop a desire for lifelong physical activity. In class, I look forward to a productive year with movement, fun, and learning.

In physical education class, your support is needed. Please help us in our effortsto provide a safe environment for your child.  Listed below are the requirements for physical education:

1. Gym Shoes that tie or Velcro. Please, no slip on’s, flip flops, hiking boots, platforms, or roller shoes.

2. Socks should be worn to prevent your child from getting blisters.

3. Shorts should be worn when wearing a skirt or dress.

4. Jewelry should not be worn like bracelets, necklaces and long earrings.

5. It is important that students dress comfortably because of various activities.

6. If your child cannot participate in physical education class for any health concerns, please provide a note from home.

A doctor’s note must be provided if your child will be out for more than 4 physical education classes a month. I strongly encourage all students to follow the rules for their safety and safety of others. The rules are “Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Here and Ready”!!! Together, we can encourage fitness, nutrition, and exercise for a lifetime of good health. Thank you for your help and support.

 Sincerely,

Coach Albert

Welcome Back to Eastvalley Physical Education 2010/2011

 
 

Hello Eastvalley Parents,

Welcome to Eastvalley Physical Education!  I am looking forward to working with you and your child this year.

The Physical Education program is an active, instructional period offered to improve the student’s physical and social development through participation in various organized physical activities.

 Please have your child bring or wear tennis shoes to school on the days they have Physical Education.  Girls may wear dresses to class but they need to wear shorts under their dresses. 

If your child cannot participate in Physical Education class, a note from a parent or guardian is essential.  If your child cannot participate for more than a week, a physician’s note is required. 

Grades are determined by class participation, conduct, and sportsmanship.

I look forward to working with your child this year.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Coach Albert

Thank You to ALL who helped make Field Day a HUGE Success!!!

Thank you to everyone who helped make this year's Field Day a great Success! 

Our teachers really gave it their all in making their class a team.  We loved watching everyone's "team spirit"....  Your creativity and enthusiasm were amazing!

Our parent volunteers jumped right in and made sure every event ran smoothly.  We couldn't do it without our wonderful parents!  Thank you for giving your time to help make Eastvally's Field Day great!

A new feature of Field Day included the awesome Mascots that showed up to challenge the teachers to a tug-of-war contest!  The students were so excited to see Homer the Brave, Dr. WellBee from Wellstar, Plato from Publix, the Chick-Fil-A Cow, Lil' Zack from Zaxbys, and Kennesaw State's Owl, Scrappy.

We can't forget Lucky Dog from Aaron's who joined in our pie throwing contest!  The students cheered as Lucky Dog threw the final pie of the day at Coach Albert!

 

Here are some pictures of Field Day.  Feel free to email amy.snyder@cobbk12.org if you have any great shots of Field Day and I will add them to our blog!
