Morgan Walker wore the wide smile of success in the hallways of Rose Hill Middle School last week. She had just scored big in one of her favorite subjects.
"I got my first bull's-eye," the sixth-grader said as she left her physical education class. "I think I like archery more than any sport."
Rose Hill is one of about 150 Kansas school districts in the National Archery in the Schools Program.
Teachers see it as a chance for students to improve self-esteem, build enthusiasm for school and learn a hobby they can enjoy the rest of their lives.
