Before December is over all of the roughly 980 students at Stonewall Middle School will have had archery training.

Physical education teacher Eric Wagner started the class with a $5,000 grant from the state.

The money bought 60 arrows, 12 bows, bow racks, six targets and a Kevlar curtain to go behind the targets to stop any errant arrows.

“It’s really a nice set-up,” Wagner said.

To qualify for the grant the school had to send at least two teachers to training about how to teach archery.

Three of the school’s four physical education teachers took the training and the first archery class at a middle school in Prince William County was started, Wagner said.
