Over the past five years, we have developed a positive relationship with Ms. Rachelle Weisberg at the skating center. She has been simply wonderful to collaborate with supporting the extension and bringing to life the curriculum of our class, Sport for Life. As many of you know, this rink is in our backyard and many of our students have never skated before. With childhood obesity on the rise, we present this as another activity for a Friday night rather than playing on electronics while creating a comfortable exposure to physically active opportunities. Even in the short time we were there barriers were removed, and the smiles started happening as skills improved.

We can't thank the support of the community enough, support staff at school, and the willingness of the students for taking a risk and trying something new.

Thank you for all that you do, your unbounded service to the community, and we look forward to next year.
