Falcon Flyers Running Club

FALCON  FLYERS  RUNNING  CLUB

Falcon Flyers Running Club is for 4^th and 5^th Grade students who are SERIOUS about running and training for a 5K race.

We will begin with drills in the gym at Columbiaville Elementary and we will then be running on the Columbiaville Rail Trail every Tuesday and Thursday right after school from  3:45 –  5:30 p.m.  There will be NO LATCHKEY so students will need to be picked up by 5:30 p.m. sharp.  Every student will receive a snack each day before running.

Students must come to school every Tuesday and Thursday ready to run with running/tennis shoes.  If they do not have shoes they will be sitting in the gym while other students are running.

This after school program will be limited to the first 30 students who turn in their permission slip.   There will be NO exceptions.  The first 30 to turn in their slip gets a spot. We will begin on Tuesday April 14, 2015.   In case of inclement weather, we will be running in the hall and gym at the school. 

If your child is interested in joining the Columbiaville Falcon Flyers,  please sign and return the form below no later than Thursday, April 2, 2015.

Thank you,

Christopher Mahl

Article on Physical Education and Learning

This is an article I came across recently and talks about the positive impact of being active and learning.

Hurley Camp Move It!

Hurley is helping to offset most of the cost of staying a week at Camp Copneconic!

http://www.campcopneconic.org/overnight-camps/specialty-overnight-camps/

CAMP MOVE IT is an overnight camp, July 26-31, 2015. Campers will be introduced to various healthy lifestyle practices, such as fit and fun “MOVE IT” games and nutritious eating activities while enjoying the atmosphere and activities of camp. Help your child grow with the tools they need to live a life of wellness! Camp normally costs over $500 per child, but Hurley Medical Center has special funding to provide financial assistance to help several families pay only a small fee ($50 or less, depending on the financial hardship of the family). Don’t wait—these scholarships will go quick! Please email or call Hurley Community Wellness Manager, Danielle Campbell at dcampbe2@hurleymc.com or 810.262.7898.

Archery Club

The dates for the Archery Club have been posted, remember it's the first 24 paid that get in. I try to limit it so kids get plenty of time to practice! The dates are March 9, 11, 12, 16, 19, and 20. Times are from 3:40-5:15 and snack will be provided. The cost will be $25, see Mrs. Reikowski in the office to sign up!

Hockey Stations

This video shows some of the stations we did a week or so ago. There were two exercise stations, one hockey, one fun station and the traverse wall. They get in a good workout and get to work on their manipulative skills with the hockey sticks.

Volleyball Not In My Yard

This is similar to another game we play called Not In My Yard. Instead of the kids working on their underhand and overhand throws, they were working on the underhand serve and bumping skills.

Capture the Flag

This is a video of our version of Capture the Flag. Basically it's two teams divided at the half court line. Each team has a jail at their end of the gym and a tub with 6 Nerf like balls. They try to take each other's balls without getting tagged by the other team or they go to jail. To get out of jail, a teammate must come get them without getting tagged themselves. Lots of running, planning and cooperation!
