In November, Armstrong Elementary School was transformed into an obstacle course of fun, focus, and movement during our Willing to Ninja Days, an exciting enrichment experience made possible by AES PAC.
What it was
Willing to Ninja brought their mobile ninja obstacle course and expert instructors to AES on November 15 and 22, delivering a full-day program for every class in the school. All students got the chance to participate in this high-energy, inclusive activity that promotes physical fitness, confidence, and perseverance through ninja-style challenges.
Why it mattered
The program gave students:
- A fun way to be active
- A chance to test their strength and agility
- Support to grow their problem-solving and resilience skills
- A unique, hands-on learning experience outside of the usual classroom routine
And the best part? The reviews from students and teachers were fantastic.
How PAC helped
AES PAC funded the event as a Special Project, voting to support the program with $2,500 (see 2024-2025 AES PAC Budget). The final cost came in slightly higher at $2,664.38, and every penny went toward making this memorable experience possible for all kids.
Willing to Ninja also generously offered prize draws for AES students to win free month-long memberships at their Vernon facility in February and May.
