Central Hosts Peer Physical Education Field Day

On Friday, April 20 Central College partnered with the Little Hawkeye Conference (middle/high schools) to host a Peer Physical Education Field Day. This was a Special Olympics-like event that inspired all who attended.

Over 150 students from Pella, Norwalk, Indianola, and Oskaloosa school districts met at the H.S. Kuyper Fieldhouse to engage in a variety of activities. Stations included mini golf, disc golf, pickleball, soccer, bag toss, ladder golf, bocce ball, parachute, kickball and yoga.

We had approximately 30 Central College students (most student-athletes, others are education majors) facilitate each station.
