Tip o' the hat

Due to the elements and new blacktop being put down in recent years the lower and upper playground at Bigfork Elementary has been without lines for games like hopscotch, four-square and wall ball.  Bigfork PTA along with the generous donation of paint from Columbia Paint of Columbia Falls and the tools and man power of Knife River were able to get the necessary lines painted on the school playgrounds. The lines were completed a week before school started with Knife River employees and parent volunteers. Since school has started, kids have enjoyed four-square, nine-square, hopscotch, an obstacle course, a target for tossing bean bags, wall ball courts and even an outline for a minature football field. It was the hope of the PTA that by adding these games to the playground the children would have more activities to choose from and thus creating more positive and active ways to spend their recess time.

Sincerely,

Leslie Stodghill - PTA President
