Gray Elementary Students Compete in District’s Punt, Pass & Kick Competition

Several students from Gray Elementary School participated in the school district’s Punt, Pass and Kick Competition held Oct. 8 at Smith Stadium. The skills competition is designed for youths aged six to 15. In the competition, every contestant is allowed one punt, pass and kick. Scoring is based on both distance and accuracy to determine the winners in each age group.

Students practiced their skills under the direction of Gerome Witz, physical education teacher at Gray Elementary School. Below is a list of where Gray Elementary students placed:

2nd Place in Passing Event — Randy Stokes, 3rd Grade
2nd Place in All-Around Event — Javier Fuentes, 4th Grade

Third graders Travis Williams, Erin Abraham, Marco Pérez, Alyssa Álvarez, and Gabriela Pérez along with fourth graders Jaylon Jones, Elijah Farve, José Luna, and Kamya Tate also competed in the games but did not place. Every student who participated received a certificate while those that placed also received a trophy.

Everyone at Gray Elementary School is very proud of the accomplishments of the students that competed.

“I am proud to be their P.E. teacher,” stated Witz. “All of our students represented Gray Elementary to the best of their abilities and they should be complimented for their efforts.”
