Health and Fun at Edmunds Elementary

On October 5th all the students and many teachers at Edmunds Elementary participated in the Iowa Healthiest State Annual Walk, joining thousands across Iowa who were encouraged to walk or run for at least 30 minutes during the day. The Healthiest State Initiative is driven by the goal of making Iowa the healthiest state in the nation:Iowa is currently ranked 14th place in the US. The Healthiest State Annual Walk is done to boost that number closer to No. 1 while highlighting the importance of daily exercise!  Edmunds P.E. instructor Erik Heard provided pedometers to the students to enable them to track how many steps they were taking during the 30 minutes exercise period. The competition to log the most steps created a healthy spirit of competition for the classes, and the day long even was a great success!
