Gaga Pits
Gaga Ball is sweeping the PE nation. The game combines dodging, striking, running, and jumping, with the objective of being the last person standing. In Gaga, the more players the better. This allows many students to be active participants and practice a wide range of developmentally necessary skills.
Traverse Climbing Wall
Beekmantown CSD installed a traverse wall at the main campus in the 2022-2023 school year. Its popularity with students and staff was quickly apparent. Enough so, the Committee decided to invest their grant funds, the following year, to support the purchase and installation of a wall at the offsite elementary building. Doing so allowed all children in the district, from pre-K to 12th grade, to have access to this activity. The traverse wall teaches agility, hand-eye coordination, balance, cognitive skills in its users and is an added fun component with the obstacle course.
