Bert Raney Elementary physical education teacher Mary Grey encourages students to keep active.
Physical education teacher Mary Grey stood in the middle of the third graders standing in front of the Bert Raney Elementary playground.
We are going to learn about obstacle courses. They are fun,” Grey told her students, all dressed up in coats on a crisp southwest Minnesota March morning.
One-by-one her students climbed the steps to the playground set that included multiple walkways and slides.
“Only one at a time,” Grey yells out. “I don’t want to see two or three people (together). I know we are outside and we have talked about this all winter. We still need to be apart from each other to keep each other safe. Patience, patience, patience. You will get your turn.”
