Gonzaga senior Amy Danielson and junior Jon Ing lead P.E. class at Trinity Catholic School. Every Thursday a handful of Gonzaga physical education majors head to Trinity for an afternoon of play and physical activity. With just 150 students in a low-income neighborhood, Trinity has no funding for its own P.E. program. Diane Tunnell, chair of Gonzaga’s sport and physical education department, began the volunteer program in 2002. Gonzaga students work with first- through fourth-graders, gaining experience before their formal student teaching. And, as Trinity Principal Sandy Nokes puts it, “they show that ‘big kids’ still love to play with little kids.”
