Adventure Physical Education

Funded Dec 3, 2018

The Hill Central family would like to thank you again for your generosity. The equipment has already been put to use. Using the crawl tunnels, hula hoops, soccer balls, and other equipment I was able to construct an obstacle course that challenges all students. The obstacle course includes the crawl tunnels, hula hoop hop scotch, hurdles, and the last section includes a rope swing, which of course is a class favorite. One of the best moments was watching my 2nd grade class was take on the course, to see them fly through the tunnels at full speed and then swing on the rope over the "alligator pit", very cool.

When the students first saw the equipment set up in an obstacle course students were excited, a couple of students I could tell were a little hesitant. But, once I described and showed the students all of the different challenges within the course, everyone was fired up to try it. Every ability level was able to complete the course and get great exercise at the same time.

My next goal or project is to integrate some gymnastics skills along with the obstacle course racing. In order to do that I need to obtain some equipment to make it possible. The equipment needs are balance beams, folding mats, and some pads. I plan on putting together another Donors choose project soon!”

With gratitude,

Coach Raffone
