Awesome news in the world of Bromley PE! We have our climbing ropes installed and today was the first day of using them. Students were very excited to use them, but did not realize how difficult they are to climb. Thanks to our PTO for the ropes and Mr. Larry Fitzgerald for installing them.

Happy Friday All!

This past week we finished up our basketball unit. During this unit, I really focused on working with the students on their shooting. We focused on feet-work, balance, fakes, and overall ball control while shooting. Many of the students seen improvement throughout the unit, which was pleasing for me!

Have a great weekend!

Another week gone, what a fast week! Students have been working on basketball and have really made a lot of improvements. I have been really working on their footwork and balance when they are shooting. Students have really seen improvements with these adjustments. Next week, we will conclude our basketball unit with a test and some more basketball games. Don't forget if you have any money for the Hoops for Heart, that money goes to the American heart foundation for research on Heart disease and other heart plagued diseases!

Have a great weekend, Thanks Mr. Ortega

We have finished up Team Handball and it will be a good lead in to our next unit, which is Basketball. Team Handball focuses on passing, which is essential in Basketball. We will be starting basketball Monday February 14.

This year for the first time middle school students will be raising money for the American Heart foundation. The money will go to research for heart disease and other heart plagued diseases, which will help save lives. We will call the unit, "Hoops For Heart". Students will demonstrate a healthy lifestyle through our basketball unit, thus encouraging others to live an active lifestyle, which will help prevent heart plagued diseases!
