I am so impressed with our staff this year. All staff were on board for promoting an active healthy lifestyle to our students but this year they have really started walking the walk, showing students that it is important in their life as well.
FitBits have been all the rage in the staff room this year and has led to many challenges between staff members. The kids are always asking who is leading the "Workweek Hustle". I was also able to purchase 7 FitBits to use with the grade 7/8 students on a rotating basis so they were also part of the challenges at times this year.
Students are seeing staff members going for walks and using our cardio room during break times to increase the amount of activity they are getting in a day. Staff are talking to kids about the types of activities they are doing outside school time, from swimming to boxing, running and yoga.
This year we were able to bring our entire school to the Plumas mini-marathon (picture) to run either 2 km or 6 km. All staff took part and showed the students that being active is important to them. It's awesome that the students are getting this message from all their teachers not just the PE teacher!!
