Students are used to striving for academic targets. Next year, however, they may be interested in targets of a different kind.
If all goes as planned, the Spanish Immersion School will begin a second-semester archery program as part of its physical education class for seventh- and eighth-graders.
“The Ohio Department of Natural Resources would pay 80 percent of the cost and we would provide the remaining 20 percent,” Principal Gabe Costa said.
To help raise its share of the project, the school sold tickets for a drawing for a $250 gift card from Fin Feather Fur Outfitters in Ashland. Recently, Superintendent Brian Garverick was asked to reach into a large glass jar and pull out a winning ticket. The gift card recipient is Bethany Mutchler.
Costa emphasized that the ODNR-approved archery course will be teacher-supervised and will include safety features such as a backdrop behind targets.
