We need Stuff!

If you can donate used sneakers that still have some life in them....our kids would be so thankful! Many of the children's families cannot afford sneakers and so your help would be so helpful! Just bring any donation to the Gym and we would be so thankful on behalf of our kids. Also, Our P.E dept. will be trying to find grant money or donation money to start our new Snow Shoe Program, probably for next winter! We will be looking for about $2000 to buy 50 pairs of snow shoes so that we can add this new program to our curriculum and we hope the kids will develop a new love for being outside and getting healthy in the winter, we are very excited about this new endeavor for our school. Yoga starts this week and we were able to fund this program thru our PTAC, parents group and many private Yoga studios in the Dennis area, much of the thanks goes to Ms. Cevoli and her love of bringing Yoga to our kids. Thanks and look forward to working with you to benefit our kids here at the Ezra Baker Innovation School! P.E Dept.

Jump rope For Heart

We have 12 great stations for the kids to jump at during their regular P.E. period. Also, each classroom has asked the children to fill in a Heart with the name of a someone who they are jumping in "honor" of for this week. Also, the children will be making a second card to share with the local nursing and assisted living programs in our area. Along with that we have emphasized healthy eating this week, physical activity for a minimum of 30 minutes/day and have tried to organize a morning family walk for 20 minutes but due to snow storms we have had to postpone that phase to sometime in the spring. We hope that the children will better understand that we are all not alone in fighting heart disease. Our gym is looking great, starting to fill up with hearts. we will forward pics later on. Stay healthy!
