Cross Country Run
Today the Cross Country Run Team hit the trails at Peace Hills Park in Wetaskiwin. The heats that our younger members participated in had as many as 104 students running at a time. Congratulations to all of the team members on the awesome job that they did and to each and everyone of them for crossing the finish line. Excellent job in representing New Humble Centre School! A special "thank you" to Mrs. Besler for helping supervisor and for cheering on our runners.
A Moving Educational Program to Get Kids in the Game
Thanks to Leduc Parks & Recreation, NHCS will be taking part in the Active Eskimos program which encourages students to get moving for 60 minutes every day and rewards them with tickets to an Edmonton Eskimos' home game. This unique, in-school program had been developed for grades 3-8 in partnership with Ever Active Schools and the University of Alberta.
Gr. 3-6 students who choose to participate will be challenged to be physically active for 60 minutes every day for two full weeks (October 1st - October 15th). Students handing in their form for the challenge on October 15th, will then be entered into a draw to receive tickets to the Edmonton Eskimos' game on Saturday, October 17th against the BC Lions! 30 NHCS students will receive 2 tickets to the game, along with transportation to and from the game by way of a school bus! Tracking forms will be sent home on October 1st.
