Fun Friday gym class with PE teacher M’Lena Gandolfi
By memo on March 12, 2012
Every Friday, high school gym classes like to mix up activities instead of their regular units they are scheduled to do. Physical Education teacher M’Lena Gandolfi’s gym class during G block play a game of basketball, do Zumba in the fitness room, and finally wrap up with a game of Bombardment.
