The students and staff participated in their final Walking to Wellness event on Thursday, January 29. They walked around the square in Sidney to reach their goal of matching Charlie Engle’s “Running America” goal. Collectively they walked over 3200 miles while plotting their trek on a map in the Cowboy Café. Students and staff started the activity on October 15, when Charlie visited Sidney as he passed through Iowa. His mission was to spread the news about the importance of walking as well as the importance of healthy eating habits. In celebration of their goal, the students gathered for a group picture and were presented with one of the healthiest of food choices, an apple! A picture of the students will be sent to Charlie, as he and some of our staff have continued to correspond about our progress.
Mr. Sears continues to emphasize the importance of walking, and will encourage the students to make a new walking goal. We are proud of our students for reaching their original goal and will continue to keep track of their “walking to wellness”.
