Situps and pushups as a group. Tug of war. Learning to walk in unison on a pair of boards across grassy terrain.

Those were some of the challenges the incoming Navarre Navy Junior ROTC cadets faced on the opening day of the battalion’s summer drill camp at the high school.

East Bay K-8 opened their doors to rising first through fourth graders and their families June 22 for a “sneak peek” of the new school.

Children were eager to take a look inside their new school where they would be spending years to come. Teachers greeted them Tuesday night with welcoming, warm voices.

With the first day of school, Aug. 10, less than two months away, East Bay K-8 is paving the way for students by hosting sneak peeks to show them around their new school.

A Kindergarten Sneak Peek was held June 17 during which incoming kindergarten students and families toured key areas where students and families will be learning and growing together this fall, principal Beth Mosley said.
