Bluff View Elementary students recently participated in an activity that may trigger fond memories for some of their parents and grandparents.

This year, for the first time, a roller skating unit was part of the physical education curriculum for students in grades kindergarten through six.

Over the course of the two-week unit, they learned skating techniques including—crucially—how to fall safely.

Third graders on their second day of the unit could choose between three skating areas, depending on their comfort level.
