The Student Wellness Team planned a day for all classes to go on a walk around the school grounds. We added a short trip to a nearby city park with has a paved walking track into our walking course. Many students at the school didn't know there was a walking track at the park. The Student Wellness/Leadership team planned the course, served as guides to lead the classes through the course and served as safety monitors to get the classes to and from school grounds to the city park.

How do you plan to make this Play last during the school year and beyond?

The teachers and students now know where our walking course is and can choose to use it anytime. In addition, many students were made aware of a nearby walking track that can be used by them or their families outside of school time.
