Physical Activity Participation

Kindergarten through second grade students were allowed the opportunity to kick off with a Run Club on Friday, January 15th. Signs were posted and FUTP 60 merchandise was displayed for all to see. The staff educated the 715 students during their regular PE time on the program and how their steps would be counted using the pedometers. Students were eager to get started and happy to report their step count to the recorders at the end of running.

What challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?

Students lost their pedometers or accidentally hit the reset button. We allowed them to duplicate their running buddies' step count.
