Students can't "dodge" their teachers following tests

 

Baldwin Elementary celebrates the end of testing by competing in a grade level dodgeball "tournament."

Students play class against class, girls vs boys, but the most exciting game is the teacher/parents vs students.

Teachers dress in whacky cosutmes and crazy hair.

Students spend the whole week plotting against the teachers and developing plans of attack. It is a great to let out the stress of testing through friendly competition.
