We have wrapped up our Orienteering unit and lessons on how to dress properly for the elements when participating in Outdoor Activities.

This week, we will be looking at the parts of a Mountain Bike and identifying possible hazards on the hill when mountain biking.

Students are reminded that if they have outstanding assignments to hand them in to Mrs. Hunchak as soon as possible.  Extra copies of the assignments can be found by logging into D2L.  Marks have been updated on HomeLogic.
