October 2015

Dear Parents/Guardians,

October is “family fitness” month. Once again the Oak Grove and Kinry Road school communities are

trying to increase the activity levels of our students and their families. So please join us in our:

6th Annual Healthy Steps 10Day Walking Challenge

START: October 6, 2015 END: October 15, 2016 Forms Due: October 16, 2015

To participate, students use the “Family Walking Log” form on reverse side to record the number of

steps (or miles) walked between October 6 and 15, 2015. Forms will be distributed to all students

during P.E. class and additional forms are available near gym door. All forms are due back to your

physical education teacher on October 16, 2015. Students who turn in their “family walking log”

form will receive a shoe lace token and their total will be used to determine how many miles were

walked by each school community. The school with the most steps will win the walking challenge

trophy.

Students and their immediate family members can wear a pedometer to track their daily steps and

record their totals on the family walking log form. If you do not own a pedometer, you can take walks

and estimate the number miles walked.

To maintain heart health, we should all strive to walk 10,000 steps a day which equals about four

miles. So please consider stepping outdoors with your family and taking a walk in this beautiful

autumn weather. Your support is very important to your children as they participate in this program

and your encouragement will make a difference. We are excited to have the opportunity to work with

you, and we thank you in advance for your enthusiastic support. Stepbystep we can make a

difference in the lives of our children and students.

Sincerely,
