The 2014 Armstrong Games have officially begun.
In a breathtaking opening ceremony on Tuesday afternoon, students marched as their nation’s athletes into the Armstrong Stadium, Buzz the Eagle lit the Olympic cauldron, and the host nation’s cultural presentation (i.e. the teachers’ music-video parody of Let it Go from Frozen) simply dazzled (you can see it on YouTube).
Now the work begins! Students will bring home an Olympic goal sheet and instructions in their Wednesday Folders this week. Parents are encouraged to review the personalized goal for their students for the end-of-year testing. On Friday, students will then bring home their first Personal Training Chart (focused on healthy lifestyles, independent reading, homework, effort in school, and citizenship). Students will work on their training charts throughout the next week, and those who complete (and return) them will participate in a Friday Olympic event.
Keep in the loop for all of the Armstrong Games on the official Game Page.
