Reflections from Our Guest Writer
Steve Lore, Cambridgeport Physical Education Teacher

Greetings Cambridgeport Families, I am happy to be writing to you from our school newsletter this month of December! With the first three months of school behind us, the students of Cambridgeport are now starting new units that can be more challenging in Physical Education. May it be manipulative skills (such as throwing, catching, kicking, etc.), locomotor skills (such as skipping, jumping, hopping, running, etc.), or even something as complex as swimming in fourth grade, the students of Cambridgeport continue to learn, work hard, and enjoy their Physical Education classes.
