WGMS Goalball Activity
Goalball is a sport designed specifically for athletes with visual impairment. It is a silent sport where athletes roll a ball with bells, attempting to score in the opponent’s net. Players defending remain on their hands and knees and use ear-hand coordination to block the shot into their net. West Geauga eight grade physical education students recently had an opportunity to play a modified version of Goalball in class. The experience allowed students, both with and without visual impairments, to enjoy the game together. Special thank you to the Cleveland Sight Center who facilitated the activity for our students.
Acts of Kindness
Lindsey Elementary School is focusing on acts of kindness during the last quarter of the school year for those in and around the community. Each week, students will focus their kindness on a specific organization through an optional activity and an action.
The organization chosen the week of April 17 was Rescue Village. The activity was to wear animal/paw print and the action was a coin collection. All money collected will be donated to help Rescue Village. Students generously donated in various ways, such as giving their own savings or opening a lemonade stand to donate the proceeds.
Mrs. Hocevar’s third-grade class spent time sorting all of the coins they collected throughout the week, then counted the money together to celebrate the total. The students took great pride in their donation.
