Alconbury Elementary School hosts Wall Ball Tournament

Catherine McBride, the physical education teacher at Alconbury Elementary School, recently organized a wall ball tournament for students in the third, fourth, and fifth grades. The event, designed to promote physical activity and friendly competition, took place during recess, allowing students to showcase their skills and sportsmanship.

Students first competed within their respective grade levels, facing off in fast-paced games throughout the week. By Friday, the top scorers from each grade moved on to the final round, where they competed against winners from the other grades in a highly anticipated showdown.

"The students were excited to take part in something new during recess. Wall ball quickly became a favorite among them," said McBride. "It was great to see them encourage each other and demonstrate teamwork."
