Let's get Palmyra Elementary moving!

The last 10 school days of May, (May 15 -May 30) have been declared Healthy Steps Days at Palmyra Elementary. Our goal is to get the entire community of Palmyra walking during that 10-day period. We hope to enlist parents, students and entire families in our effort.

Keep your eyes open for further announcements that will tell you how you and your family can join in the effort to become or stay healthy by walking. Plans are underway to offer guided walks with your favorite teachers, administrators and local celebrities. Teachers are working out ways to incorporate walking and exercise into academic instruction.

Classroom competitions to determine which classes have walked the most miles are being planned and incentives and prizes are being gathered to promote Healthy Steps at the end of May! We really want to make the effort a family affair. When your child brings home information about the many activities that are offered, don't just encourage his or her participation, join them whenever possible.

Healthy Steps offer great rewards besides the prizes we plan to award for participation. The rewards of quality time spent with family members in healthy activities are the greatest return on our investment of our time and energy. Help us reach our goal of thousands of miles of Healthy Steps by taking a walk to a bright and healthy future!
