Students in PE Potpourri have been very active these past two days. They've played musical chairs, tag, and done relays in the hallway. Sharks and minnows has been their absolute favorite game to play though! They have been having so much fun playing all their games that students always leave this class very tired and sweaty, as does Ms. Wagner!
Friendly reminder for all students to do their best in bringing a water bottle to summer school every day!
