Nearly 60 Mini Panthers participated in the Ray-Pec Summer Wrestling Camp on June 7-8! This past Friday and Saturday, elementary-age students from all over the district spent nearly 8 hours getting a hands-on introduction to the sport with fun drills, movements, games, and live wrestling! 15 wrestlers and coaches from East Middle School, the Ninth Grade Center, and the High School volunteered to work with the Mini Panthers, ages 5-10, and helped make this camp a huge success. All camp participants received a t-shirt, prizes, and snacks from camp sponsors: Defense Soap, Smile Doctors, and Ray-Pec East Middle School Wrestling.

Mrs. Gatlin's 1st-grade class participated in a STEAM activity for their end-of-the-year countdown. They made houses for the 3 little pigs as part of today's "E" for their Once Upon an Experiment theme. Later, they will be making "poison" apples. The students had a great time participating in the activity.
