CRAIK—A positive change in culture is underway at Craik School.

The proof: nearly perfect attendance at last Tuesday’s gymblast event.

For an action-packed two hours, students from grades six to 12 played a series of fast-paced, silly games.

Principal Charla Edwards said only three students failed to attend the gymblast. One of the absentees was taking their driver’s test.

From the first minute, it was full-speed ahead.

“No one can be good at this,” Edwards said as she watched students playing a variety of games with such names as beach-butt relay.

“Everyone has to work together and everyone is.”

Students were all active, excited and smiling as they worked together to generate as many points as possible for their teams.

More importantly, for the staff at Craik School, the students were engaged, which was the point of the whole event.

“Kids who don’t usually smile are smiling. I’m just loving watching them,” Edwards said.
