Service learning project adds to playground

On July 15th, students from Mar Lee's rising 7th grade joined in with parents and Mr. Henke (Middle School Social Studies) to create a new addition to the playground: the school's first gaga pit. "gaga," a form of dodgeball, is an informal game played in an enclosed area, typically a circle surrounded by a low wooden wall. Players try to tag other players "out" by batting a ball into their legs. Only the arms and upper body may touch the ball, and it may not be thrown.
