Elementary-Secondary Gaga ball Tournament

Secondary students invited elementary students to campus Friday afternoon for a Gaga ball tournament and playground games. The Gaga ball "pit" was donate to the school a couple summers ago through an eagle scout project; since then, gaga ball has been a favored sport for recess and lunch across the grades. The tournament began with the K5-2 students own game, then a multiple round tournament for the older grades.While the older students competed, K5-2 students played tag on the playground, and parents enjoyed fellowship time.
