WE NEED YOU !!!
    Do your kids climb
    the walls at home ?
     If so, then we would like them
    to climb with us at Edgewood !!
     
     
    How can we make this happen?
    With your help, your students can learn about indoor climbing. More importantly they will also learn:

    *safety techniques                     * strength
    *decision making                       * teamwork
    *problem solving                        * flexibility  *coordination                             * conditioning
    *perseverance                                     * patience
    *balance

    Climbing builds overall wellness: physical well-being, integrated  with emotional and intellectual characteristics.

      All of this by "literally" climbing the walls.  As part of the New P.E. , students learn climbing is a lifetime sport, one that can enjoyed well beyond their school days.

        One of the drawbacks of some sports is that you need a team to participate in them. Climbing can be done individually or in a small group, thereby promoting both personal and peer interaction.
     

    "Traverse climbing is quickly becoming one of the most popular new activities in schools all over the country! Traverse climbing is safe because students are never more than a few feet off the ground. Increase or decrease the level of difficulty by changing the order, frequency, and position of the hand holds." MAHPERED(Tim & Kevin Sudeith)
