The a
WARE
ness Weekend
Spencer Ware's Sports Camp
Ages 8-16
Sickle Cell aWAREness Foundation founder Spencer Ware is currently a running back for the Indianapolis Colts. Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, Spencer attended and played football at Sharonville Princeton High School.
Spencer was a highly touted high school recruit as he went on to play college football for LSU. Few know that Spencer also play some games for the LSU college baseball team. During his career at LSU, Spencer became a second-team ALL-SEC selection. That same year he became an SEC Champion, as the LSU Bulldogs defeated the Georgia Bulldogs.
Foregoing his senior season at LSU, Spencer was a sixth round selection in the 2013 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks. Towards the end of his rookie season Spencer was signed in free agency by the Kansas City (KC) Chiefs, his current home. In his third season for the Chiefs Spencer had been given his calling card.
With Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles being injured, Spencer was made the starting running back for the 2016 season. Spencer capitalized by having a pro-bowl callable year. In 14 starts Spencer ran for 921 years, had 3 rushing touchdowns and also caught 33 passes for 447 yards with 2 receiving touchdowns.
Fo(r) What It's Worth, as Spencer always says, he uses this time off the field to give back to communities. For example, Spencer treated The children from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Cincinnati to a 'Special Kids Day' (pictured right)! In the last few seasons Spencer has continued to be philanthropic, attending many charity events including a leukemia event in KC last year as well as multiple visits to Mercy Children's Hospital.
Through all his charity work Spencer's heart has always been stronger for one certain cause that affected him personally his entire life: Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). That is why in 2017 Spencer created the Sickle Cell aWAREness Foundation. Spencer also created his own clothing line Yes Lawd, which happens to give a portion of its sales back to his foundation. Spencer is excited to give back through his foundation in 2018 and beyond!

Cardiovascular Endurance at Evendale
This year in Physical Education, our intermediate students (Grades 3-5) have worked hard to improve their cardiovascular endurance! As part of each class, we jog a few minutes and gradually build upon it over the course of the year. We start our first running challenge in the fall, which is 5 minutes, where students try to jog the entire time without stopping or walking, and each month we add another minute to the challenge! It is always amazing to see the looks on their faces at the beginning of the year when I tell them that we will work our way up to 12 minutes! Along the way, we work on breathing, positive self-talk, and perseverance, and each month I am filled with pride, as the students conquer not only the running challenge, but their personal goals! Many of our students made it all the way to the 12 minute challenge, and a few even chose to go beyond that and made it to 15! CONGRATULATIONS to all who persevered! I am so proud of you! Mrs. Moore :)

Don't Miss Out!
This is a wonderful opportunity that will expose the students of The Princeton School District to the world of STEAM. I myself have reached out and recommended this program to one of the parents of a 5th grade student. She is interested in becoming a Criminologist. She loves watching NCIS Los Angeles, Law & Order, and Chicago PD among many different forensic television shows. She was also nominated to participate in the National Youth Leadership Forum Pathways to STEM, an Envision program held at Bowling Green State University and the University of Pittsburgh.
