In promoting a healthy lifestyle among students, Barnum Woods Elementary School held its first ever health walk, “Walk in the Woods,” on June 11.
The event was developed by the school’s Planning and Management Team, which consists of teachers, administrators, staff, parents and community residents.
The event commenced outside on Barnum Woods’ front lawn, where those in attendance participated in a Flag Day tribute. Students sported small flags, American flag headgear and other patriotic attire. There was the pledge of allegiance, followed by the singing of the Star Spangled Banner.
Principal Gregory Bottari offered celebratory remarks and thanked the PMT for its efforts in developing the health walk event.
Afterward, kindergarten and first-grade students participated in a half- mile walk, and second- through fifth-graders engaged in a one- mile walk.
Parents, siblings, friends and relatives lined the streets to cheer and support the participants on for a good cause.
