Superfood. That word gets tossed around quite a bit, doesn’t it? It almost seems as if it’s applied to every food these days, in fact. I used to roll my eyes at the term because I believed that these foods aren’t so much super as they are just actually what we were supposed to be eating in the first place!

Something exciting is happening in our very own PE department. SNAG! SNAG stands for Starting New at Golf. Our PE teachers have said this is a new program they are starting. This is perfect for elementary students because the equipment is smaller than adult golf equipment. Mrs. Hundley said SNAG was established by the ”National First Tee Association.” Our P.E teachers think it is important to inform us of the different ways to play golf. Students all around the world can get great scholarships to college by playing golf. If you show any talent, and a recruiter from a college likes you, they might offer you a scholarship, money, to attend their university. According to Athnet, “There have been cases of female golfers gaining full scholarships without ever having played golf. The reality is that hundreds of women’s golf scholarships go unused each year.” So, if you want this opportunity, come to our PE department and bring your PE shoes and desire to try golf….and they will teach you the rest.
