Fitness Drumming Class May 21, 2021!

 Test stress got you bumming? Let off some steam with fitness drumming!


Join us for fitness drumming tomorrow from 2:00- 2:30 pm. We will be moving and playing rhythms as we listen to some great music. 

Materials: 

1) Something to drum ON (and sometimes sit on if possible): Exercise ball works best and something to keep it from rolling, a 5 gallon bucket works well too, don't have either, that's okay, just find something you can tap on safely (a plastic flower pot, a kitchen pot, a laundry basket *WARNING-sitting on these items is not recommended*)

2) Something to drum WITH: Have 2 drumsticks? Great! If not, 2 wooden or plastic cooking spoons work well. UNSHARPENED pencils work but if you have something larger, that is recommended.

Attire: Wear something you can move in. Tennis shoes, athletic pants and a t-shirt are perfect!

Have a water bottle nearby to stay hydrated!

Face covering update from Richland Two

School district administrators received the following information from the S.C. Department of Education shortly after 7:00PM May 11, 2021.

 “This evening Governor McMaster issued Executive Order 2021-23, attached, that has language pertaining to the use of face coverings in South Carolina public schools. Due to the lateness of the Order, the legal ambiguities, and the absence of a DHEC opt out form, the state face covering guidelines will remain in effect until such time as the agency has the opportunity to confer with legal counsel and provide further guidance.”

 “As noted in the Order, face covering requirements as they relate to students and staff on school buses have not changed as a result of President’s Executive Order No. 13998 (Executive Order on Promoting COVID-19 Safety in Domestic and International Travel) (Jan. 21, 2021); CDC Order Under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. § 264) and 42 C.F.R. §§ 70.2, 71.31(b), 71.32(b) (Requirement for Persons to Wear Masks While on Conveyances and at Transportation Hubs) (Jan. 29, 2021).”

Therefore at this time and until further notice, Richland Two will continue to require face coverings to be worn in accordance with Policy ADD Face Covering which is based on current guidance S.C. DHEC, CDC and the S.C. Department of Education.
