Everyone knows the ceiling course in the gym. The upcoming 5th and 6th graders should be excited. It’s so fun. I remember looking up in the gym wondering if I would ever do it. But I was terrified of heights and I hated those kids of course. Then when 8th grade came around I was dreading trying it. When I climbed the ladder and was up on that platform I will admit I was scared for sure but once I started climbing I was having so much fun. My climbing partner and I had so much fun laughing uncontrollably and trying dare on the course. It was not scary at all, it was a blast. I loved it so much I decided to write this article. So I wanted the history behind it. I interviewed Mr. Bellini below.
