This week at Wayne Elementary, K-5 students dove into the Winter Kids program with enthusiasm and energy! In gym class, students are discovering the joy of movement through two exciting activities that combine fitness, fun, and winter adventure.
Step It Up with Pedometers: Students are using pedometers to track their daily steps and engage in some friendly competition. The big question on everyone's mind: Do parents take more steps than students? These handy tools are helping young learners visualize heart health by connecting their physical activity directly to cardiovascular strength—making fitness both measurable and meaningful.
Nordic Skiing Adventures: For many Wayne Elementary students, this week marked their first time trying Nordic skis! Students are building balance and endurance while embracing outdoor winter fun, regardless of the temperatures. It's an exciting opportunity to develop new skills and appreciate the beauty of winter activity.
Through Winter Kids, our students are learning that staying active during the colder months isn't just possible—it's fun!
