Meadowview Fourth Graders Experience Hockey
The culmination of a section spent studying the various aspects of hockey was the
sixth annual trek to the Fort Wayne Coliseum to watch a professional hockey game.
Right after school
on March
16, the
Meadowview
fourth
graders
had seen
a demonstration
by Karch Bachman on various aspects of hockey and enjoyed a supper
of pizza and cookies before boarding buses to head for Fort Wayne.
Because of the hockey game not starting until 8 p.m. and having
a long trip back to
Meadowview afterwards, most of the
students enjoyed a
slumber party at the
school with the boys
sleeping in the cafeteria and the girls
sleeping in the open
area downstairs. The
Komets lost 4-3 in
overtime.
