PE for the body, mind and soul

Leadership SHINES at Pashley!

May 11, 2012 — pefairy

“Leaders aren’t born, they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that’s the price we’ll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal.” Vince Lombardi

“The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly.”
Jim Rohn

Congratulations to our 2012 Sandy Morley Physical Education Leadership Award 5th Grade Winners!

What do you think makes a great leader?

May is National Fitness Month

May 6, 2012 — pefairy

Pashley Students…The Sneaker Wall is Back!!

To help celebrate National Fitness Month, we are encouraging exercise outside PE time.

For every 30 minutes you exercise (the possibilities are endless )

You will get a blank paper sneaker to color and decorate. Bring them back to school so we can proudly display them on the gym walls!

What type of exercise will you be doing to earn your “sneaker”?

Snack ATTACK at Pashley

May 2, 2012 — pefairy

Yesterday we had our first SNACK ATTACK!

It was awesome!

Nutritionist, Mrs. Hyde spoke to our students about healthy snacks (there sure is a lot of sugar in our everyday food!)
students traveled from center to center preparing a nutritious snack YUM
by the end of the session, each student had a recipe card for everything they prepared
“thumbs up or thumbs down” let us know what their favorites were

Bottom line….PASHLEY students are healthy on the inside and out!

A BIG shout out to the Wellness Committee and the awesome parent helpers!!!

What did you enjoy most from the Snack Attack?

Happy Spring, Happy Easter, HAPPY VACATION!

April 5, 2012 — pefairy

Happy Easter and Vacation Pashley students and their families!!!

We hope you fill this special time with LOTS of family fun activities. Don’t forget to get OUTSIDE to PLAY!!

Here are some fun Easter candy facts…

Can you believe ninety million chocolate Easter bunnies are produced each year.

Chocolate bunnies should be eaten ears first, according to 76% of Americans.

Each Easter season, Americans buy more than 700 million Marshmallow Peeps, shaped like chicks, as well as Marshmallow Bunnies and Marshmallow Eggs, making them the most popular non-chocolate Easter candy.
Yellow Peeps are the most popular, followed by pink, lavender, blue, and white.

Americans consume 16 billion jellybeans at Easter, many of them hidden in baskets. If all the Easter jellybeans were lined end to end, they would circle the globe nearly three times.

Just remember Easter Bunny…you can also fill Easter baskets with non-candy items: Try crayons, jump ropes, paperback books, sidewalk chalk, play dough or playground balls.
