Delano Mile

The Delano Mile this year was postponed for the first time since I've been at Leon Sheffield.  The race was moved due to inclement weather.  Unfortunately the weather on the make-up day wasn't much better.  The students bundled up and braved the COLD 1 mile run!

And they're off...

They normally receive gatorade and popsicles once they complete the run because it is normally very hot outside.  This year they had their normal treats but could've probably used some hot chocolate instead :).

Fast runners!

Way to go, guys!!

Punt Zoey, Punt!

Our friend Zoey was one of the LSMS Punk, Pass, and Kick winners.  Zoey was given the opportunity to travel to Bob Jones High School to compete against other area PP&K winners.

Zoey won the Bob Jones PP&K and then traveled to Atlanta, GA to compete in PP&K the week of Thanksgiving.  Zoey received tickets to the Falcons vs. Saints game, was able to meet Matt Ryan and Julio Jones, and also played on the Falcons' field!  

Guess what??  ZOEY WON PP&K at the Falcons game.  She now gets to go to an NFL play-off game and if she wins there she's going to the Super Bowl!  We have a few very envious classmates :)

CONGRATULATIONS ZOEY!

Turkey Bowl!

In August when students check their class list for the year there are typically 3 things on their mind:

1.)  Do I like my teacher?

2.)  Do I have any friends in my class?

3.)  WILL WE WIN THE TURKEY BOWL??

The time to find out the winner for this year's Turkey Bowl finally arrived.  We traveled to Rhodes Ferry Park to play Mrs. Corson's class.

We arrived at Rhodes Ferry Park and began a little warm-up.

eye-black is a MUST

We are READY!!

 A few action shots versus Mrs. Corson's class.

We played the winner of Parker vs. White in the championship.  Mrs. White's class won so they became our next, and final, opponent.  It was a hard-fought game by both teams.  We ended up getting the win with 1 minute left in the game.

VICTORY!!

CHAMPIONS!  Way to go guys!!

 

Sheff Cup

Last week was the ever anticipated Sheff Cup.  Sheff Cup is almost as excited and important as Turkey Bowl.  Our first game was again Mrs. Corson's class.  We came out strong and won that game 7 - 2 which moved us into the finals.

In the finals we played Mrs. White's class.  Unfortunately we came up short in that game :(.   Every student played hard though and that's all I asked for!

Sheff Cup Part 2, :(

Wednesday afternoon we played Mrs. White's class in the Sheff Cup Finals.  Our class put up a good fight and played hard, but we fell short with a score of 3-2 in favor of Mrs. White's class.  

Sheff Cup Part 1

Sheff Cup began Monday and we received the bye :)  We played Mrs. Corson's class.

 The boys played hard and scored a goal!!

 We won 2 - 0 and will play in the championship game against Mrs. White's class on Wednesday :)
