A fourth grader in Paul Shimon's physical education class bounces a tennis ball on a racket after learning from J.C. Louderback on Thursday, March 6. Louderback, affectionately called Mr. Tennis by Shimon, visited three classes at Adams Elementary School. Louderback taught the students beginning skills like bouncing a ball on a racket and bumping the ball back and forth across the net, and tennis etiquette. Louderback said he really wants the kids to start having fun playing on their own and hopes they will continue with tennis lessons over the summer. For more photos, click here.
