On November 4, students inbrPre-K through fourth grade at Carroll Elementary School sprinted, bounced, slidbrand maneuvered their way through a student-friendly obstacle course during thebrinaugural Dragon Games. The fundraising event, sponsored by the PTO inbrpartnership with Camp Gladiator, was designed to help promote self-esteem,brcharacter and team spirit.
Each class was dividedbrinto two teams—Green Dragons and Black Dragons—per grade level, and then studentsbrtook to the course, completing 11 obstacles including balance beam,brover/under, tire run, trampoline and bounce house/slide. Each student couldbrcomplete the course up to three times, with the winning team putting their team'sbrflag in the winner's circle.
Students collectedbrpledges toward the number of obstacles they would complete at the Dragon Games,brwith a maximum of 33 obstacles. The goal of the CES PTO was to raise $50,000brfor student and teacher programs. Students surpassed the goal and raised overbr$60,000. One hundred percent of the net proceeds will go to student and teacherbrprograms at CES.
