Physical Activity Participation

Every morning before school, Lakemont opens up the school track to our entire school. There are students that come five days a week and some that come only once a week. This morning, Walking Club has helped to improve the Lakemont students' and some parents' health. Classroom teachers are noticing that many students are more focused with their learning when they go walking before school .

How did you accomplish your goals?

We promote and encourage our students and their families to come walk before school.

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

It is a very effective tool to promote great health. There is no cost to it, so very affordable. We plan on continuing it and adding some equipment next year.
