Coltrain, along with other teachers and hundreds of high school students volunteered to show the third graders different sports like frisbee, tug-of-war, soccer and other games that encouraged them to be active.

"I think it's really important to encourage the physical activity with the kids. This way they get to have some exposure to new games and just think about a healthy and active lifestyle," said Coltrain.

With only eight days of school left, Coltrain says the nice day was a perfect way to get them prepared for the end of school and get a good running start to summer.
