K-3   The students loved climbing the yellow cargo net, in the gym.  Thank-you volunteers for
          helping me hold the rope.  Several of the students climbed to the top.  They were really
          suprised to see how far on top they were.


4th-5th   The students had climbed the climbing rope in the gym.  Several made it to the top.
               They took off from the vaulting box and were able to swing or climb.


6-7-8     The middle school finished their soccer tournament with great games being
               played.  Some of our students skills are amazing (even in this gym).  I was
               very proud of their team playing skills. Congrats to all.
