Events: One class per event at a time.  The sledding hill will be occupied by luge, skeleton, and bobsled.  School sledding hill rules will apply.
                Participation and good sportsmanship are emphasized this afternoon.  Let’s have a good time!

  • Mrs. Lyman’s Skeleton – out main door to the right
     Skeleton will be down the steps on the hill facing Zosel street.  Divide your class into 2 teams.  2 students at a time go down the hill: 1 on the towel (head fist on tummy), the other pulling the student on the towel.  The pairs run back up the hill, give the towel to the next group, go to the back of the line and sit down. The first team to have all its members sitting, wins.

  •  Mrs. N’s  -  Speed Skating – bottom of hill
     Line up your students in teams of four at the start line.  By sliding or striding their feet along the ground, have students “skate” around the outside of an oval indicated by orange cones.  The first one around the track is the winner.

  • Mr. Kudack’s  Luge – sledding hill

  • Mr. Mauntler’s Curling – lower level rocks
     Curling will be somewhere where I can find a flat surface, one level of stones or the other. The basic idea is divide the class into teams of four. They have to roll a “rock” (basketball, orange for one team brown for the other) closest to the middle of a “bullseye”.
    Only the “rocks” inside the bigger circle can count for scoring.
    A team scores a point by having their ball closest to the middle, however, a team may score more than one point, or neither team can score a point.
    Each team starts with 4 “rocks”. When scoring, you look at a rock from each team that competes together for the closest to the middle. Look at the first “set” of rocks closest to the middle that correspond. Whichever team’s rock is closest to the middle gets a point. Then, look at the next two rocks and compare those corresponding rocks, etc. If they all cancel out, no one scores.
    You can make up your own rules if this mess has made you crazy trying to read itJ. Usually there are ten rounds, I would say 3 rounds would be sufficient to determine the “winner”.

  •  Mrs. Catanese’s Torch Relay – football field or upper part of playground
     Torch runner relay will be at the bottom of the hill.
    Split your class into two teams
    Start at start buckets
    Using the torch, run to fence and back and hand off torch to next runner
    All kids are winners!

  • Ms. Eichberger’s Ski Jump – courtyard
     Just like broad jump. Stand behind the marked line and attempt to jump their farthest. 
    The elementary school record is 2 meters and 3 centimeters.

  • Mrs. Bennett’s Bobsledding – sledding hill

  • Mrs. Brown’s Hockey – basketball court

  • Mrs. Bromley’s  -  luge relay – bottom of sledding hill
     Luge Relay will be at the bottom of the hill.  Have your kids pair up.  One lies down luge style in the sled, while the other one pulls the sled.  The teams will need to go behind the blue rope.  Start the teams when they are ready.  The teams race to the other blue rope and turn around and race back to the start.  Good luck and have fun!
    P.S.  We have eight sleds, so sixteen kids can be racing at a time.   

  •  Non-competitive events – snow sculpting and snowman building – where ever there is ample snow.

  • 1:00 – until it’s gone  Hot Cocoa outside the Elem. Computer Lab Doors
