PE Showcase Applications

The Beaverton PE Showcase is one of my favorite evenings of the school year.

Here is the application for 4th and 5th graders.  It is loaded with information.  Look for more info below the application.

Hundreds of Beaverton elementary students representing their school's PE programs.

Thousands of spectators in the stands.

Students perform snippets of activities they do in their PE classes.

Community members and parents can see a small snippet of what goes on in today's PE programs.

Here is a recent Sexton Mt. PE Showcase team...

Looking for 16-20 4th and 5th grade students who love PE, enjoy being physical active, and would welcome a chance to perform in front of a large crowd.

Applications are due Monday, February 29.  The PE Showcase team will be announced on by Wednesday, March 2.  The team will practice during school hours.

The 2016 Beaverton PE Showcase is on Thursday, March 17 at Beaverton HS from 6:30-8:00.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hoop Shoot Update

Sexton Mountain has 3 students who will compete in the Oregon State Hoop Shoot contest later in February.  Each of them won the Sexton Mountain, Beaverton, and Metro contests by making the most free throw shots in their age group.
We are happy that Haimanot, Emilia, and Justin are enjoying great experiences that came about due to their hard work, courage,  and perseverance.
Wish them well!
Go Eagles!

January All-Stars

We like to recognize All-Stars in P.E. class.  An All-Star is someone who tries their best at everything...playing well with others, following directions, making good choices, helping others, using teamwork, being a good sport, playing safely, trying new and challenging tasks, and more.

Running fast, scoring goals, making baskets, evading captors, winning contests are all fun and exciting, but there are outcomes of effort.  Sometimes there are out of our control.

Therefore, we reward the process...effort and growth.  Everyone controls their effort...which often produces growth.  No matter how big or small, growth is growth.  Kids do notice it.

Here are the students who were recognized this week in P.E. for their effort.  There were definitely more All-Star efforts in P.E. than just from these students.  I look forward to recognizing more students next week!
