This week we are starting "Weightlifting Power Hour" from 4-5 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Students meet in room 234 after school for check-in. Then they go to the workout room and lift weights or use the other exercise equipment. Rides should pick up at Door L no later than 5:05 PM.
Intramural activities will be starting up soon! Intramurals are open to all students, and can be a great way to spend some time playing games with fellow Spartan students and staff! Pay attention to WSMS and the Student Newsletter for details.
Favorite activities in the past have been Ultimate (Frisbee Football) and Flag Football in the Fall, Volleyball and Weightlifting in late Fall to Winter, and Dodgeball, Foosball, and Open Gym at various times throughout the year. We have also had a lot of fun with Field Hockey, Disc Golf, and Wiffle Ball in past years.
DODGEBALL - There are only 20 DAYS until the 5th Annual Dodgeball Tournament at Penn High School. It takes place on Thursday, March 28, and the money raised will benefit Riley Children's Hospital (through the Dance Marathon Club).
SMS student Dodgeball teams of 6-8 players will compete with other middle school teams for a chance to move on to compete against the high school and staff teams!
The Schmucker Staff team will compete for a chance to throw balls at the winning middle school team - which we think will be a SCHMUCKER team!
Saturday Open Gym is back! The SMS gym will be open on the following Saturdays from 9:00 - 11:00 AM: Feb. 2, Feb. 9, Feb. 23, and March 9. Get your friends together and come to play. That first Open Gym date is TOMORROW! Don't miss this great opportunity. For Saturday Open Gym, you need to enter and exit door A - the main office door.

Your SMS Intramurals opportunities for the week are:
