Wellness Fair Photos!

Hi Wildcats!
       Thanks to those of you who were able to come out to the Wilson Wellness Fair last week! A huge thanks to the teachers for volunteering and run our stations. It brings me so much joy to watch our families getting active together, learning healthy habits, and having fun! Check it out

Wellness Fair next Thursday 5/24!

Don't forget, Wildcats!
       The annual Wilson Wellness Fair is this upcoming Thursday, May 24th! The fair will run from 6:00 to 7:30 in the Wilson gym and outside on the North Park side. Looks like we are going to have some great weather for the event!

       We have some really fun activities in the works for the fair, and I hope all of you will take time to stop by. There will be an obstacle course, FREE snacks, zumba, nutrition stations, jeopardy, and a FREE raffle with participation in the various stations.

       Make sure to wear your exercise clothes parents - your student is eligible for bigger prizes if you participate in the stations along with them. The first 50 Wildcats to turn in their "passport to health" will receive a free t-shirt. We have some really great raffle prizes this year including a bike, skateboard, sports equipment, fitness equipment with Garmin Vivofit, Play it Again Sports gift cards, and family passes to Timberhill Athletic Club. This event is completely free, and it is a great opportunity to have some fun and get sweaty as a family.

Hope to see you there,
Miss Stone

Cooperative Games

Hey there Wildcats!

        Oh dear...as we get closer and closer to the end of the year, I get worse and worse about letting you all know what is going on with Wellness at Wilson :) After hockey, we completed a Frisbee unit in which we got to take advantage of the great weather we were having here in Corvallis.

       We learned some basic Frisbee skills and tactical strategies initially, so that we could try out a small-sided game called Ultimate Backboard Frisbee. This game mimics several aspects of traditional Ultimate Frisbee; however, the rules, scoring, and limits set on the game allow for greater participation and more teamwork.

         This week, we moved into a mini-unit with a cooperative game called Castle Ball. Not sure if I had more fun or the students :) Here is a short video clip, to give you the gist. Thanks so much for checking in!
