Walk this Way — Start a Walking Club

Topics:

Our students participate in lap day once a week. Students have the opportunity to run or walk depending on their fitness level. Our school was fortunate to receive the Marathon Kids grant that helps to provide incentives to our students as well as a scanner application which allows us to keep track of each student's progress . The students love to have the opportunity to be outside and socialize. We are promoting a life-long skill to our students.

What improvements have you seen at your school?

Our students are really loving lap day because it allows them to see growth from the beginning of the school year to the end of the year.

How did you accomplish your goals?

Students create their own goals the first week of physical education and they have the opportunity to look at their goals weekly to see if they are on track.
