Smile Mile

The Smile Mile is an annual school-wide event where students walk/run a mile (kindergarten students walk/run a half mile). It is a great opportunity for children to prove to themselves that they can accomplish personal challenges and goals. Parents are welcome to participate with their child if they choose to. The most important part of the Smile Mile is that students smile and have fun while exercising. There will be running/walking practices before school to help the children get in shape for the event, which occurs in early May.

Intramurals is a before-school program that gives third grade students the opportunity to participate in and learn about the game of hockey and/or basketball. Students are not required to have any prior knowledge of the games to join in on the fun. Participants should have a willingness to learn and cooperate with their teammates and be willing to show good sportsmanship throughout the program. Students who exhibit excellent sportsmanship can earn a sportsmanship award. Hockey takes place in the fall, while basketball takes place in the winter/spring.
