Magnet Programs
Run/Walk Club
Run/walk club is an exciting club that promotes wellness and health. For every lap a student walks/runs, the student receives one-hole punch in that student’s record card. Every four laps equals a mile. For every 5 miles, the student earns a foot charm. As students walk/run the designated miles, their names are added to the “Leading the way to Good Health” Bulletin Board. Great exercise for all!
