After 18 months of distance learning, our students are finally back in class! My project is requesting bows and bow maintenance kits for an after school archery program that will help our students and support each other.
My goal is to use the National Archery in Our Schools Program (NASP) to bring together our special needs students with their general education peers in a social, confidence building activity. We will use the bows at a local range to train for the NASP school tournament in February, where we will compete against other schools at a statewide event. NASP guidelines require ten hours of instruction to introduce students to the program and archery. During our training, students will learn proper shooting techniques and safety procedures. Students will learn the eleven steps to archery success, proper stance and safety protocols such as how to transport arrows. We will then meet weekly at a Henderson range to shoot and prepare for the tournament. I'm excited that we will be using public facilities, as this will also introduce our students to the resources they have within their community.
Although there are only forty students in our special ed program, this activity will also include members of our general education population, as we hope to bring students together. We are hoping to get a start on our supplies to offset the costs for the school.
