Dear LES Parents, I am really excited about the Sport Stacking unit we are currently doing in PE. Sport Stacking is an exciting sport where students stack and unstack 12-specially designed cups (Speed Stacks). Sport Stacking uses both sides of the body and brain developing important athletic and academic skills. One of my goals, as a Physical Educator, is to promote activity at home through positive alternatives to computer, television and video game screen time. I believe that Sport Stacking is a unique, fun and simple activity that motivates kids to get up and move. I have Speed Stacks Sets and StackMats for students to purchase here at the school with an added benefit of raising funds for our PE program. Here’s why you should participate: --Sport Stacking is healthy for kids. --Regular Sets are $20.00. Pro Series Sets are $25.00. StackMats (mat, timer and gear bag) are $25.00. You pay no shipping, PLUS, the school will earn a percentage of your purchase in equipment for our PE program. --Speed Stacks Sets and StackMats are available for immediate purchase. First come, first served on color and design choices. Act now, I have a limited supply of colors and quantities. A student form will be going home with your student. Please choose from the list on the form and encourage your student to have a second choice in mind. Return payment to the school (checks should be made payable to the school). These make great Christmas gifts! First come, first served! Sincerely, Ashley Crosby K-5 PE Thank you for supporting our Physical Education Program!
