Character Counts Gym Night
Elizabeth Ide Elementary School held its 6th annual Gym Night on Friday, October 16th. This event has been very popular with students for the past few years. Students are split into teams and participate in thirteen different stations. Some stations include: bowling, rock climbing, rope climbing, bean bag toss, dancing and arts and crafts.
This year we raised $715 that will be used for our school's Character Counts education program. Literature, teacher handbooks, assemblies, supplies and incentives are bought with the proceeds raised yearly.
Here are some great pictures from the night!
