South Davie Middle School has introduced a new 9-square game site on campus, offering students another engaging outdoor activity space.
The project was made possible by a grant from a donor, facilitated through the Davie Community Foundation.

The 9-square game, a classic playground activity, offers students an opportunity to enjoy physical activity, build teamwork, and foster healthy competition in a fun and interactive way. The new game site is a valuable addition to the school’s expanding outdoor recreational areas, which also includes a Gaga Ball Pit, constructed by a local Boy Scout troop last year, said Gloria Chalmers, physical education and eighth grade health teacher.
“We are thrilled to offer this new space to our students, giving them the chance to enjoy one of the most nostalgic and interactive games around, and offering a fantastic way to promote physical fitness and active play,” said Chalmers. “This wouldn’t have been possible without the generosity of our donor and the hard work of the Davie County Schools facilities team.”
Chalmers said that the community is welcome to use the 9-Square space when school is not in session. It is located next to the bus parking lot off South Davie Drive in Mocksville.
