Inspired By Faith
During our time away from St. Patrick School, we want you to stay active, move your body and keep track of your activities each day. Below are some suggestions for your grade level. Our hope is that you log 20 minutes each day so that you maintain a healthy heart, mind and body.
Please create a daily log- in sheet for your activites. This can be done on a piece of looseleaf paper, or a construction paper or in a binder. Be creative and make certain you have titles such as:
Activity Repititions Completed Time Date for each column you create. Search the web for some ideas, or make up your own.
Bring these back to your gym class upon return.

Good Morning! Let me begin with some additional information on our Virtual field day!
We are so excited to announce that our school will be participating in the OPEN National Field day Event on Monday, June 8th. Field day is an important tradition at our school. It is a significant day for our students and our staff, and we feel that in these incredibly challenging times this school event can be a unique way that we can stay connected as a community and support one another in a fun meaningful way.
OPEN ( Online Physical EducationNetwork) is a national public service organization that provides curriculum and training support to teachers in all 50 states. We will be using their resources and ALL events are designed to be done indoors or outdoors using common household items. You will not be asked to purchase any specialized equipment or supplies.
Here is how it works: Families can choose to participate: It is not a required assignment for Physical Education Class.
The event website is www.openphysed.org/nationalfielday. We did not officially register as a school : There is no need to register! This website is full of resources to make a FUN event for families. (you may visit this sight to get an idea of how our field day will run.)
This week, I will begin posting some videos on google classroom and my class page to practice. You can find all videos and information pertaining to this event on https://open physed.org/nationalfielday.
There will be a total of 10 events for our virtual Field Day. A list of all supplies needed will be given to you prior to the events. Directions for the field day and a presentation will be viewed by all students at St. Patrick’s School on Monday, June 8th.
On the day of field day, we will ask you to send videos and pictures to the following emails; ktownes7172@spssmith.org & bpellerito7172@spssmith.org and jstewart7172@spssmith.or
