Ms. Erin invited First Push Syndicate, with their skateboards, into GSB, after discovering them at a local professional development day. To say Ms. Erin AND the students are hooked is an understatement. Skateboarding has taught our students grit, perseverance, balance, control, agility just to name a few. Through the awesome world of grants we have now purchased 15 skateboards and will be offering an afterschool program to 5th - 8th graders as well as teaching all 4th and 5th graders for years to come! Check out some of the videos we caught!
