Walking Club

Advisor:
Mrs. Cutrino

Description Of Club:
Walking club was started on October 5, 1993. Its purpose was to promote a healthful living activity that will remain with each participant throughout his/her lifetime. The benefits of walking range from an increased energy level to developing a better self image. Walkers walk at their own pace and are instructed in the heel-toe method of walking.  Each member is encouraged to participate in a walk-a-thon throughout the school year.  Pedometers are also used to help members count their steps; our goal is to walk 10,000 steps per day.  Participating members receive extra credit for physical education.

Meeting Schedule:
Walking Club meets every Tuesday from 2:45 pm until 3:30 pm.  Meetings are held in the Nurse's office

Activities:
Popcorn sale in Fall, Winter and Spring; Daffodil Sale to help support American Cancer Society.

Other:
Monetary donations throughout the year (e.g.. American Cancer Society, Memorial Sloan Kettering Research Center, American Heart Association, American Diabetes Association, etc.)
