On Sept. 25, Rushmore Avenue School in the Carle Place School District hosted its annual “Welcome to RU Games,” a tradition where third graders kick off the year with an afternoon of fun activities.
Rushmore physical education teachers Ms. Yannacone and Mr. Laurino, assisted by a group of sixth-grade leaders, began with a demonstration of the seven activity stations the third graders would engage with. From cup stacking and rock, paper, scissors to basketball and follow the leader, the games encouraged teamwork and built excitement through friendly competition.
The event not only introduced students to fun gym activities but also gave them the chance to build friendships with classmates as they begin their Rushmore journey.
