Letter:

Your child’s physical fitness is important to us here at Oneida Elementary School, and we wish to promote activities that can enhance their desire to live a healthy, active lifestyle. Offering a variety of games and skill activities throughout the school year, the child will engage in a number of fitness related sports. Your child’s grade will not be evaluated on the basis of performance, but on their willingness to participate in the activities that day. I hope the children enjoy their experiences and become more aware of their fitness during their time with us here at OES.
