Chocowinity school holds boot camp pep rally to relax students before testing

Public school kids may feel like they've been in an educational boot camp all year long, so now their teachers are going through a real one to help their students relax for the end-of-grade (EOG) test.

Chocowinity Primary School held their third annual Boot Camp EOG Pep Rally for their students Thursday afternoon.

Eight teachers were put through their own boot camp, complete with a drill sergeant barking orders at them.

Then those teachers had to go through their own obstacle courses, including a mud pit that teachers had to crawl through and a slip and slide.

Chocowinity Primary has students from pre-kindergarten to fourth grade.

Officials say students may get nervous taking the EOG's, so this is a good way for them to relax.
