OLYMPIC TORCH RUNNER VISITS SGES
I was honored to welcome torch runner Dale Magnett to SGES in September to speak to students about his experience as an Olympic torch runner. He gave a very special message to students about having a positive life attitude and students each got to hold the torch. Many were awed by the experience. Thank you Dale for an awesome experience!
INTRAMURALS
VOLLEYBALL INTRAMURALS BEGINS MONDAY NOVEMBER 3.
CO-ED Volleyball: December 9, 11, 16
Each year, after school Intramurals are offered for students in grades 4-6. The purpose of Intramurals is to teach fundamental skills and work on lead up games and activities to better prepare students for junior high sports. Girls Volleyball begins at the beginning of November, Boys and Girls Basketball is in the months of January and February. A schedule of practices will be available when the season begins, and practices are from 3:30-5:00. Volleyball is held in conjunction with Wamego Parks and Rec, and our teams play in area tournaments. Basketball is not attached to Wamego Parks and Rec, and there are no games or tournaments, only after school practices. All intramurals activities are FREE!! More information will be available as the season approaches.
SGES participated in Freedom Walk on Thursday, September 11. Students walked the track in recognition of the lives lost on 9-11-01 and to honor our military veterans, past and present. Check out www.ameriasuppoortsyou.mil for more info or click here: Freedom Walk.

Clip and save all Boxtops for Education for our school. We receive 10 cents for each boxtop coupon you bring in and use the money for educational and motivational purposes. Last year it helped pay for Body Walk to visit our school and also for Fitness Trail incentives. We also occasionally have contests so keep saving them!!

About your teacher.........
Ms. Schneider, PE Teacher
I have been teaching P.E. at St. George Elementary for 16 years. I also coach high school volleyball and junior high track at Rock Creek. I love my job because I love working with children of all ages, and see them move, be active, smile, learn new skills, laugh, excel, and push themselves harder than they thought possible. I enjoy staying active too, and try to run or bike several times a week. I also play volleyball and softball in my free time. I enjoy and have run various races: 2 mile, 5k, 10k, 10 mile, 1/2 Marathon and a full Marathon. My son Ryan is entering Junior High this year and is very active in sports and school activities.
Well....better run...........
