Mr. Courreges Visits 3rd Grade

Ron Courreges, grandson of Roch Courreges, visited our 3rd grade students on Friday, December 9.  Mr. Courreges spoke to our students about the history behind his grandfather's involvment in being one of the first pioneers in Fountain Valley; purchasing hundreds of acres of land in FV and turning it into profitable farming land. 

Arrangements for Mr. Courreges's visit were made by the Huntington Beach Elk's Lodge, who also donated a dictionary to each 3rd grade student at the conclusion of the assembly.   

Thank you Elk's Lodge and Mr. Courreges!

Noon Soccer League

Congratulationsto teams Workman, Guess, and Johnson!  The winning soccer teams for Courreges's first noon soccer league. 

Students in grades 3-5 were given the opportunity to compete in our first noon soccer league during lunch. There were one to three teams represented from each homeroom and teams competed against other teams from the same grade level.  The winning teams from each grade level enjoyed a pizza party prior to winter break. 

I have been thrilled to see such tremendous enthusiasm and spirit from so many students who are participating in our league, both players and sideline cheerleaders.  Furthermore, as an added bonus, the league has contributed to creating a safer and more positive lunch atmosphere; as students are generally more engaged and tend to have more positive interactions when organized games are being played during lunch.

Thank you to Jim Frederisy, Nicola Weiss, and all the other parent volunteers who have been helping to set-up and ref the soccer games each day.  Enjoy our noon soccer slide show below...

Go Cougars!
