Track and Field Day 
BGM students get to take a half day out
of school in the spring and compete in different events against their peers.
In the morning the K-2 get to participate. Eight events are set up for them
to do. Every child gets to do each event with their class. Each student gets
a participation ribbon. The K-2 events include:
50 Meter Dash |
Football Throw |
100 Meter Dash |
Football Punt |
200 Meter Dash |
Softball Throw |
Long Jump |
Soccer Dribble |
In the afternoon we do a track meet for the students in grades 3-6. Each student
is allowed to sign up for four events ahead of time. The 3-6 session is run
more like a junior high track meet. Students have to check for their events.
The results are tabulated, and ribbons are handed out for the top three in
each event at each grade. The rest of the students get participation ribbons.
