We've set up 6 of the 9 baskets, and students are already taking ownership of the space by helping design the tee signs.\r\n\r\nWhen the equipment first arrived, students were excited to see something new on campus. They were eager to try their first throws and quickly began learning the basics of grip, release, and aim. As they practice, they're starting to notice how angle and force affect their throws, sparking curiosity and problem‑solving.\r\n\r\nA highlight so far has been watching students collaborate on the tee sign designs. They are thinking about how to make the course clear and welcoming for others, combining creativity with responsibility.\r\n\r\nOur PE teachers are now exploring ways to integrate the disc golf course into one of their upcoming units. This will give students more structured opportunities to build skills and connect physical activity with strategy.\r\n\r\nThe next steps include finishing the installation of the remaining baskets, finalizing student‑created tee signs, and beginning organized activities led by PE teachers.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has provided students with a resource that encourages activity, teamwork, and creativity.
