Let it SNOW! So we can use our new Snowshoes!
After a very successful Walk-a-thon this fall, the Playground Committee purchased snowshoes to be used during PE classes at Proctor School!
As we all know, during the winter months it can be difficult to get outside to
exercise. Snowshoeing will provide students an outstanding cardiovascular
workout, introduction to a wonderful lifelong activity, as well as some fresh air.
We are very excited to embark on our winter PE adventure. While we are eagerly
awaiting enough snow to use the snowshoes, the snow in the forecast this weekend may allow us to start next week. In the meantime though, we wanted to send a message in advance to let families know what would be required for students to participate. It would be appreciated on days your student has PE that they are prepared to go outside in the snow.
Clothing requested:
* Snow boots
* Snow pants
* Gloves or Mittens
* Hat
* Warm Jacket
* It is recommended that they also bring a pair of sneakers that day just in case
there is an issue with the wind chill and we remain inside for class.
We have 27 pairs of snowshoes so that would allow one class to go out at a time. We will be setting up a schedule with the teachers so that their students are prepared for class. We are hoping all classes, grades 4-6, will have the opportunity to use the snowshoes multiple times.
Thank you so much in advance for your cooperation.
