The Tire Swing?

By: Evelyn, Harper, and Helen

Hi, we have a question for you, do you remember the tire swing? Some of you haven’t been here long enough to even know that was a thing. But for lots of people, the tire swing was really fun! Some people might not have had great experiences with the swing, but we remember that we would spend all recess long on that thing, And we were really sad when they took it down at the end of the school year in 2021. Now let’s see what people think and remember about the swing!

“The tire swing was really popular. I remember tons of people waiting to get on, and when you did, it was amazing, and it went really fast! I mean that’s just my opinion.”

-Helen

 “The tire swing was SO fun!! (in my opinion) I wish they still had it.  Do you remember head bonkers? You would get pushed SO high!! People would go so high that they’d almost hit their heads! (that’s where they got the name)”   

-Harper

“I loved it because it went so fast, but I didn’t like it when it spun.”
