Life Lessons

(11/9) Our Counselor, Ms. Kinnard, has been sharing important lessons with our students this week as part of our Pathways Program!
Third graders learned about “My Internal Alarm,” exploring how to recognize and trust their feelings, understand safe and unsafe touch, and know what steps to take when something doesn't feel right.
Fourth graders focused on “My Body Safety Rules,” learning about personal safety, recognizing different forms of abuse, and understanding the importance of talking to a trusted Go-To Person when they need help.
These important lessons help empower our students with the knowledge and confidence to recognize unsafe situations, speak up, and make choices that help keep them safe.

DT Cox Fast Class Challenge

(11/9) Students at DT Cox participated in the first-ever Fast Class in the School Challenge last week! Each class was given five minutes to run as many laps as possible. At the end of the challenge, the total number of laps completed was divided by the number of students participating to determine the class average. The class with the highest average earned bragging rights, along with a trophy and medals!

The winning class will proudly display the trophy until the next nine-week grading period, when classes will have another opportunity to compete and claim the title. A picture of the winning class with their trophy will also be displayed on the gym banner to recognize their achievement and celebrate their hard work. This challenge will take place every nine weeks, giving students continued opportunities to improve their performance and work toward a common goal.

Beyond the competition, the Fast Class Challenge is designed to promote teamwork, build cardiovascular endurance, improve running skills, and encourage students to develop a positive attitude toward physical activity. Most importantly, students are learning that they are capable of pushing themselves, overcoming challenges, and accomplishing more than they may have thought possible. The goal is to help students build confidence, develop perseverance, and recognize the importance of staying active and making healthy choices!
CONGRATULATIONS TO MS. CLINGAN'S CLASS FOR WINNING OUR FIRST CHALLENGE!
