SPORTS: Attention students interested in fall sports: Bethlehem Area School Districts free sports physicals for fall athletes will be today, June 1st at 5:45 pm at Liberty High School. The second date will be Tuesday June 5th at Freedom High school from 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm. All students athletes must have their Physical packets filled out to receive their physical. The physical packets can be picked up in the main office. All 6th and 7th grade students who are interested in a fall sport and missed the meeting on May 21 should see Mr. Korcienski in room A107 so he can get your information to pass on to coaches.
THOUGHT OF THE DAY: When you were little, did you ever run just for the sake of running? Not to win a race, just to run, just to let your feet fly, to pump your arms and legs and breath hard? It felt good, didn’t it? That’s really what athletics is all about. It’s not just about winning or about being the best, it’s about getting into action… challenging yourself. And yes it is fun to compete and win trophies and ribbons, but feeling a sense of accomplishment and purpose is really more important.
This summer vacation, get your body moving! Keep active! Get out and run just for the sake of running. And remember this Bulgarian wisdom: From walking – something. From sitting – nothing. Nothing good is going to come from just sitting around all summer. Get out. Walk and jog and swim and run… just for the fun of it.
Summer vacation can be one of the most special times of life – sleeping later, hanging out with friends, staying up later, running barefoot. There’s a lot more freedom. The question is: What are you going to do with all that extra time and freedom? What choices are you going to make?
Some of the most important choices we ever make in life, we make on summer vacation because all that free time opens up more opportunities. . . good and bad.
This summer, remember these words from famous Renaissance artist, engineer and inventor Leonardo Da Vinci:
It is easier to resist at the beginning than at the end.
Begin your summer vacation with a promise to yourself. Promise yourself that you’ll make good use of your time, make wise choices, and resist negative peer pressure… right from the beginning. It’s easier that way.
