ABOUT THE ACTIVITY SPACE:

involve chasing or fleeing, the benches near the side could also be
hazardous. The grass area has some holes, or uneven areas that could be
dangerous

Both the bathroom and water fountain are right outside the gymnasium
close to the basketball courts. There is also a bathroom in the teachers

considerations or the activity will have to be modified to meet the
