As
part of the Freeport District-wide Wellness Initiative, the boys and
girls at Caroline G. Atkinson Intermediate School are walking their
way to fitness. Students from Mrs. Pohmer’s health
classes learned how to use pedometers to keep track of the number
of steps they walked each day. The children then used
this information to chart their way on maps to travel across the
country. In addition students are learning that eating healthy foods
and walking helps to develop and maintain physical fitness. |
