Students are missing a lot of traditional experiences and learning as they’ve been out of the building since spring break, especially those who are looking forward to physical education.

Middle School Teacher Amy Belding says they’ve been presenting a virtual program called “Together on Thursdays,” which has featured several high school graduates and students, as well as all of the elementary and middle school teachers, sharing mini-workouts and guides to those in 8th grade and younger.

Belding says the presentations are given over a Zoom or Google call to try and replicate the togetherness they have typically in a P.E. Classroom. She says one of the programs includes several Pella alumni who have gone on to compete in college or current Class of 2020 members who intend to do so, sharing tips and advice with future Little and Lady Dutch athletes.
