| Olympic Day! |
On Wednesday May 1st Northern Kentucky University
celebrated Olympic Day with Newport Intermediate Elementary School. Third,
fourth, and fifth graders from Newport Elementary spent a fun afternoon with
student-athletes, coaches, and staff members from NKU. It was a great way to
reward the students of Newport Intermediate on a successful year in the classroom!
At the beginning of the school year, third, fourth, and
fifth grade classes were paired up with a specific NKU sports
team. Throughout the course of the school year, the sports teams would visit their assigned
classroom and bring with them a fun activity to share with the students in the
class. It was a great way for student-athletes to connect with different kids
in the community while teaching them important values of sharing, respect,
and teamwork.
Olympic Day started with a big group picture at center field,
followed by two hours of fun activities and games. The program ended with a luncheon between the NKU student-athletes and elementary school students. Olympic Day connected all of the
students from Newport Intermediate with the student-athletes from NKU
together for one special day. This event was a way for NKU to say thank you to the Newport
Intermediate classrooms for inviting them into their school and lives.
