WEEKLY RECAP & WEEK AT A GLANCE

The Youth Large and Small PE Uniforms have come in.  Please make sure that you check with the PE teachers in your locker room to help you get one.  If you are a male and in my class, let me know when you come into the locker room that you need a uniform and I will get you one so you can change into it for class.  If you are a female, make sure that you talk to one of the female PE teachers and they will get one for you.  This week I will officially be marking down for those of you not wearing appropriate clothes for PE.
