Dear Holy Cross Parents and Students, 
 
Welcome to the beginning of our 2020-2021 school year. I am thrilled to see our new students and the returning ones. I’ve missed every single smile and hug.  
 
I know it has been a time of challenges for everyone, and I do hope you are making the best of things. We here at Holy Cross, are up for the challenge.  
 
Our DAILY routine in P.E. is as follows: 1. 10 minutes of laps. We try to get outside where we can run/walk laps. If it’s too hot, rainy or too cold we do our routine indoors. 2. Stretching warm ups. Various movements. 3. Practice sport skills. We stay on one sport for about three/four weeks learning skills. The last week we will play games with score keeping. Students will learn to be respectful winners/losers and the importance of teamwork. 4. “Workout Wednesdays”. On Wednesdays we have in depth workouts that teaches skills such as endurance, strength and balance. All age appropriate. 5. Health Day. Every MASS day are our Health Days. We do not work out on Health Day.   
 
I’d like to take this time and write out the rules of the GYM. These rules are for the safety of all students. First, I want to state that every rule falls within the “Guidelines for Success” of Holy Cross. Please read this letter with your child. 
 
1. BE SAFE AT ALL TIMES. There is NO RUNNING in the gym. The exception to this rule is when the coach gives permission when certain sports requires running. Whiffleball, Indoor  Hockey, etc. 2. TREAT EVERYONE AND GYM EQUIPMENT WITH RESPECT.  3. WEAR TENNIS SHOES. 4. NO GUM! 5. LISTEN FOR THE COACH/WHISTLE. ALL activity stops, you look and listen to what the Coach is saying. 6. HAVE FUN!!! 
 
Thank you for giving me this opportunity to help in the growth of your child. I have great expectations and high hopes for this school year with all the students here at Holy Cross Catholic School.  
 
Much Love, Coach Cheri Zenker
