Chess Club News - January 2008 In chess club, the students have started using the *ladder. The ladder is where students challenge another opponent. If they win their match, they move up on the ladder. The ideal is to get students ready for chess tournaments. Players who are consistently in the top ten spots will make up our GH A and B team and will compete at the district tournament. Last year we came in second, which was very exciting. However, this year we plan to come in first. Watch out, Marvista! Muhoohoohaha! Also, in regard to tournaments, we are in the process of ordering shirts. Students will be asked to wear their shirts on tournament days or special chess events. Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to remind parents that it is their responsibility to make sure your child is attending chess and enjoying chess. If your child does not want to be at chess club, please respect his or her wishes and drop from the club. It is not fair to your child or the students that enjoy playing. Also, please be respectful to our volunteers and pick your child up promptly at 4 pm. Our volunteers have busy lives and can’t stay afterwards. The school office is closed at 4 pm, so please try not to be late. Thank you for your attention to this. *Note: Not all students opt to play the ladder. |

Mile Club
Starts October 5
During mid-day recess on Fridays, students will have
the opportunity to run or walk around the perimeter of
the field. Their distance will be tracked by
volunteers and they will earn a “toe tag” for every completed mile. Each student will receive a monthly record of miles run/walked and we’ll post the names of
those who reach milestones (one mile, five miles,
etc.) in the school hallway. If you’d like to help, contact Sue Blazak at 246-6129, or show up by 11:30 on Fridays.
Mile Club March Update
Thanks to volunteers Teresa Felix, Lori Box, Sandra Holmes, Laurie Turner, Francine Murray, Betsy Akina and Denise Sagmoen. Extra volunteer help, particularly during the first part of lunch recess (11:50-12:15), is always welcome. |
More students have joined Mile Club and many students have advanced to the next milestone, so look for names posted in the hallway by the lunchroom. During March, 132.75 miles were run/walked, which puts us at a total of 1346.75 miles! The lead milers are Sonat Taydas (24.5), Lyle Morrison (24), Nikola Roso (21.25) and Brayan Rosales-Mendez (18). Behind them, eighteen students have completed 8 or more miles, while twenty-one students have gone over 10 miles. Very impressive! Husky Hot Dogs (Jump Rope Club)
