How about this week’s A Plus?
We’re giving it out to a walking program, run by Central Christian School in Kidron. We heard from fourth grade teacher Mrs. Hamsher, who was motivated to write to us after we asked about exercise in a poll question earlier this year.
Every morning, the elementary students head outside to take a walk around the playground on the track, and they wear pedometers so they can add up the total number of steps they walk together each day.
Mrs. Hamsher tells us that collectively the kindergarten through fourth graders walk between 30 thousand and 40 thousand steps every morning, and since the beginning of the school year, they have racked up about two million steps!
She says, “It's a great way to start every day, outdoors and on the move!”
What a great way to demonstrate the importance of keeping active! So here’s an A Plus for Central Christian School’s walking program. Awesome job guys!
