Students in Reagan Middle School’s eighth grade Social Studies classes are currently studying government. During the course of this unit students learn about state and federal governments. In this particular exercise, students are focused on the 4th and 5th Amendment. Officer Quadraro can be seen leading the class through a question and answer session. This is the second year the eighth grade Social Studies department has worked with Officer Quadraro in the classroom during this unit. The Social Studies department hopes that bringing in an officer can show students how the laws they learn about in class are applied to real life situations.

Students will work on bumping, setting, serving, teamwork, a general knowledge of the game.  Good sportsmanship will be emphasized to build strong peer relations, community expectations of being a student athlete and building self confidence / esteem in each young individual.  These skills along with the knowledge base learned through this program, will better prepare athletes for middle school and high school career.

All participants are required to pay a $25 registration fee which includes a game shirt.  Registration and fee are due on or before the first day of practice and must accompany the permission statement below.
