From Mr. Green (K-8 Gym Teacher)

Hello students and families of Saint James School,

I hope everyone is doing well. I am writing to give you some ideas of activities you can do during our time away from school/gym. I encourage you to stay active and eat healthy.

As a family unit, now is the perfect time to take full advantage of being home together;  by interacting, playing games, or even making up your own games (indoors, as well as out). Weather permitting, you can go outside to play, ride bikes, take a hike, do yard work, or take your dog for a walk.

I took my dog for a walk the other day and saw a family of five playing wiffleball in their front yard. Looked like fun! It put a smile on my face. A game of catch with a football/baseball is another activity to do with a family member.

When the weather isn’t cooperating, you can play board games, do a puzzle, listen to music and dance along, or help with projects around the house. Yoga is another form of exercise that will enrich your body, mind  and soul.

I hope that faith and family will help us get through these trying times while we are away from our school, friends, and teachers. Remember to keep moving! “We are all in this together”!

Be well,

Mr. Green
