Each year 5^th Grade students have the opportunity to participate in March Madness ~ in April.  This is a basketball event intended to be a reward for hard work for the third nine weeks.  5^th grade students who maintain a “C” or higher and exhibit good citizenship across the third nine weeks will be invited to participate in this tournament.  Students can choose to play on our basketball team, cheer, or drum team.  Ball players will be coached by two King’s Fork High School varsity basketball players, cheerleaders will be coached by Mrs. Linkous, and the drum team will be led by Mrs. Long.  Your child will receive an invitation letter closer to the practice dates below if they have met the requirements listed above.

 Calendar: Look ahead….All March Madness Participants (basketball, cheer, & drums) will need to attend 4 after school practices (see below).  If rides are a problem start looking around for a car pool.  Students can ride home with others as long as a permission slip is secured in advance with Mrs. McCoy (P.E.).

Oakland Families:

 Please see the attached letter in regards to Healthy Youth Day at Oakland Elementary.  As a part of our special day (read attachment) children will be “Flash Dancing” throughout the day on January 19th.  Children will be learning the steps to a video included in this e-mail.  You are welcome to practice with your child from home.  Here is a link to Kung Fu Fighting.  This video is posted on YouTube.  Keep in mind Oakland cannot control links that are clicked on once the user is inside of the YouTube website.

 **Your child may bring a water bottle on the 19th.  Make sure your child has his or her name on the bottle.
