Walking Towards a Healthier Life

Funded Oct 17, 2009

I wanted to take a moment to thank all the donors. You are doing something to help America's urban youth. Our school does not have the budget to fund extra resources to the physical education department. With your help, more students will be challenged to examine their healthy lifestyle decisions.

Middle school students will be counting daily steps using the pedometers. We will also be breaking down what activities give us the most/least steps. Students will be using some of their computer science class time to chart, review, and process the information collected using our new pedometers.

Thanks to you, students will be spending quality time examining their health and the decisions that affect their health. Many of these students do not have the self-motivation to make healthy decisions, and are intimidated by sports and working out the body. Everyone WALKS, and now these students will be thinking about improving their health because you gave them that chance.”

With gratitude,

Teacher
