Students climb National Guard obstacle course

by Chelsie Darrow

We had a very exciting event occur at Pittsford on October 30th. The National Guard recruiters brought a giant blow up obstacle course. The course was a series of climbing through and over walls, also scaling giant wall just to slide down the other side. All the elementary kids were able to go through it and race each other. Not to our surprise most of the girls won!

The Guard Challenge was put on in the big gym. It taught the kids Physical fitness, agility and competition. Its purpose for coming to Pittsford was mainly to let people know about the National Guard. S.F.C Easterling was the one who organized the whole thing." I love doing this, I've done this for 22 years, sharing the knowledge of the National Guard." S.F.C Easterling shares why he loves doing this for the kids.

The kids that went on it all had a good time especially the girls who won against the guys! "It's really fun, I like when we slid down the slide! Excitedly offered Karissa Sanders of first grade. The kids all had a good time and got to learn about the National Guard.
