Today's first annual St. Sylvester Walk-a-thon was a huge success! The second graders joined the first, third, and fourth grade classes to walk around half of Palmer Park for an hour this morning. The weather could not have been more perfect for the event. The students started with a warm-up lap around the park. After that, they were free to continue around the park at their own pace. As they came back through the starting point, I put a tally mark on their name tag. Every student in the class was able to walk/run at least two miles in the hour we were out there (five tally marks equals one mile)! Our fastest runner was McKayla, who completed eighteen laps equaling more than three and a half miles per hour! Everyone did a great job keeping their bodies moving and getting great exercise. Afterwards, we were able to enjoy a picnic style lunch in the shade of the trees! Congratulations to everyone on competing the 2013 Walk-a-thon!
