SMS ATHLETICS … APRIL 29th to MAY 3rd

 Our SMS Staff would like to thank everyone for their continued support of our Athletic Program at Shuswap Middle School. 

“The best thing we can do for kids… Instead of teaching them how to always be successful… Teach them how to respond when they are not successful!”   ~ Principal El 

Reminder… 5 Ways to Develop Mental Toughness and Resiliency …

1. Get up Early… when the alarm goes off, don’t hit the snooze … get out of bed…

2. Make Your Bed as a Habit… as soon as you get up make your bed - perfectly! Start the day with a Win!

3. Do Work… Attend AM Open Gym or if not, do push-ups, sit-ups, etc…

4. When the School Day is Over… Study First … If you have early Bball Practice, then study after practice… If you have late Bball Practice, then stay at school, attend Study Hall and Do Your Work… Read, Re-Read, Write, Re-Write, Review - That’s what homework is… 

5. Eat Something You Don’t Like Regularly… as a Habit… Mr. Smith doesn’t let tomatoes be tougher than him… He still doesn’t like tomatoes, but he eats them anyway… 

Why do all the things above … because they are usually the last things you want to do… Do the things that you don’t want to do, but that are good for you, and make them a part of your Daily Habits… That’s how one Develops Mental Toughness. 

***NFL Flag Football Continues this week … We will be on our fields this Wednesday from 2:45 to 4:15. Click on the “NFL Flag Football” Tab above to see this week’s schedule. Since there are so many players who can’t play games on Fridays after school, we will schedule some lunch hour games throughout the spring instead. Please check the schedule for updates. 

Uniforms for NFL Flag Football … might be coming in this week … Mr. Smith will email Mr. Ellis (Organizer of SD#83 NFL Flag Football). Uniforms are being shipped from the USA and take 3 to 4 weeks to arrive… ??? … Not sure when they will arrive. 

***NFL Flag Football Teams should get together - on their own - to get organized and practice during lunch hour this week - outside on the fields - See Mr. Smith or Henderson to get some footballs to take outside…
