Get Up and Move

School No. 19 will form a step team which will consist of 15-20 participants, males & females, 3rd-8th graders. Stepping or step-dancing is a form of percussion dance in which the participant’s entire body is used as an instrument to produce complex rhythms and sounds through a mixture of footsteps, spoke word, and hand claps.

Mark your calendar and plan to join us for “National Walk To School Day” on Wednesday October 7^th.  We welcome all parents, students and staff to walk and or bike with us every Wednesday morning.

Recess

Well-organized recess program is in place to engage our students in meaningful play, share the importance of being active and making healthy choices and prepare them to learn once back in the classroom. Every day our students will have an additional twenty five minutes to explore their imaginations, to connect with other kids and to stretch and grow physically, emotionally and socially.
