ehoboth Christian
School has two new
ways for our students
and community to enjoy the
outdoors and the company
of others, thanks to the work
of generous volunteers and
students.
The first is a new “9 Square
in the Air” apparatus that was
built in the space between the
Rehoboth middle and high
schools. The court has seen
much use in the first month
of its existence. This court
gives students a chance to get
some much needed exercise
outdoors.
The funds for the new
court were lovingly donat-
ed by Shalom Christian
Reformed Church in Sioux
Falls, South Dakota. Shalom
volunteers Dave Heilman,
Larry Postma, Barry Good-
win, and Luanne Wuestewald
traveled to Rehoboth to
make the project happen.
These volunteers were joined
by a SAC (Student Alterna-
tive Curriculum) week class
led by math teacher Emily
Wuestewald and a class led by
Spanish teacher Steve Ter-
borg.
The second outdoor
opportunity is found on the
extensive Rehoboth trail
system which has grown and
been made even more accessi-
ble and easier to navigate for
both students and the com-
munity. A new trail called the
East Trail has been construct-
ed. As the name indicates,
this trail uses the land east
of Rehoboth’s campus. The
serpentine, six-mile trail was
constructed by Gallup Trails,
Southwest Indian Founda-
tion, high school teacher
Chad Meekhof’s bike tech
class, and Steve Terborg’s
structural design and junior
seminar classes. Terborg’s
classes, along with SAC week
classes, have worked to make
a new trail head west of the
Sports and Fitness Center
parking lot. This new trail
head will have a trail that
connects to all the major
Rehoboth trails, and this will
be a welcome addition to
community bikers and hikers
who are not familiar with
all the trails. To make the
trails even more accessible,
Mr.Terborg plans to add a
simple structure with a board
containing a map and some
trail information in the near
future.
