Ottoville Elementary Physical Education teacher Tony Castronova instructs “Go-Getters” on how to perform pushups.

District Director of Technology Shelly Mumaw has been coordinating the Tuesday and Thursday program events for three years. There are 85 students participating in the program held from 3-4:30 p.m. and 10 teachers — current, substitute and retired — who guide and work closely with the students.

The students are dismissed from classes at 3 p.m. and excitedly stampede into the gymnasium for the physical education portion of the program. Afterwards, they connect in the cafeteria for a snack and engage in a social setting with students from all grade levels. At 3:30 p.m., the enrichment and homework part of the program starts.

Mumaw gave an example of the regimen.
