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!!

Live Chess

Last Thursday was our Live Chess Tournament.  The 5th grade students that are in chess club participate in this event each year.  The 2 students playing for the championship were Caleb Smith and Joshua Topliss.

Several of our students watched closely.  I hope to see many of them out there next year!

Beauty and The Beast

Friday, March 1st we traveled to The Princess Theatre to watch our students in Beauty and The Beast, Jr.  They did a FANTASTIC job!!!!

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!!

 

Veterans Day Program

Each year our Fine Arts Department heads up a wonderful Veterans Day Program.  Each grade level sings a song and shares a piece of writing.  Center Stage also performs a medley of service hymns.  It truly is a great program!

Here are a few students waiting for the program to begin.

 This is 4th grade singing their song, Sing A Song Of Peace.

Our very own Jack Wilson was chosen to share the letter he wrote to a Veteran.

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.
