Stadium Drive Elementary hosted its second Gym Night with Dad of the year on March 2 with the students in the fourth grade.
Gym Night with Dad occurs twice per year, once for second-graders and once for fourth-graders. The event is a long-standing tradition that attracts several students every year.
There are four activities that take place in the school for everyone to participate in; basketball, bowling, a gaga ball pit and a scavenger hunt in the hallway. The gaga pit is one of the activities that students enjoy most. Physical education teacher Kendal Daltorio worked with members of the PTA to put the event together.
“Students come with dad or an uncle or someone and are put in different stations and they do different activities and games throughout the night. It’s a way to make some good memories with dad,” said Principal Jim Goske.
A little more than one hundred people showed up to the gym night. Everyone gets divided into four groups so each group of people has the opportunity to participate in all four activities. PTA members and other volunteers helped worked the night to make sure things ran smoothly and everyone was having fun.
“I went to school here and I did it when I was in school too. We’ve been doing it for a long time,” said Goske.
