Reagan Elementary School Newsletter - February 2016

Reagan Force Run Jog-a-Thon


On Wednesday, February 24, all students at Ronald W. Reagan Elementary will participate in the “Reagan Force Run” Jog-a-Thon fundraising event.  Students will run for 30 minutes around a 300 meter oval in an effort to stay healthy and fit, but also to raise money for our school.  Students will begin seeking pledges in a few weeks from family and friends.  Like last year, students who run the most laps and/or raise the most money will receive special prizes.  The money raised from this important event will go towards end of the year activities.  

Sports


The boys and girls basketball teams have shown great poise and determination in their two games thus far this season.  Our Mustangs have played two great opponents in Wilson Elementary and Eric White Elementary, both from Selma.  Inclement weather postponed a contest with Jackson Elementary, but the makeup game is scheduled for Monday, February 1st.  On Friday, February 5th, both teams will travel to Selma to participate in the end of the season tournament.  Good luck Mustangs!

Wrestling season is underway as students are learning the fundamentals.  Meets will be announced soon. 

Destination Imagination

On Saturday, February 27, the 4th and 5th grade GATE classes will be competing in the San Joaquin Valley Regional Destination Imagination tournament at Liberty High School in Madera.  The students have been working on their challenges for a few months now and are excited that the time is almost here to show off their hard work.  The tournament is open to everyone so please consider stopping by and supporting our Mustangs.  

Music News


We would like to thank Mr. Awbrey and Mrs. Sigle for coming up with the great idea of performing during halftime of our boys basketball contest against Eric White.  The 5th grade, T/Fr band sounded great and the students all looked like they had fun.  

Congratulations to those who auditioned and were chosen for Honor Choir-Second Session.  Great job, Mustangs!
