Vestavia Hills Elementary West students celebrate Patriot Day with activities

On Friday, Sept. 9, students at Vestavia Hills Elementary West celebrated Patriot Day during their P.E. classes with patriotic-themed activities and music. 

The gym’s climbing wall became Mt. Rushmore, and students on balancers held Statue of Liberty torches.

In salute to the country’s military, students also participated in army crawls and pull-ups. Using scooters and paddles, many kids re-enacted Washington’s crossing of the Delaware River. While they rotated from one activity to another, students also learned interesting facts about America.
