Due to an incredible response from the Arizona education community, we have exceeded our supply of Walk On! tool kits.
But even without official Walk On! tool kits, you and your students can still participate in the Walk On! Challenge – it’s as easy as 1 – 2 – 3!
1. Download the brochure, which includes a handy tracking calendar.
2. Give copies to each fifth-grade student and ask them to track their progress throughout February.
Hint: Simply ask your students to aim for 60 minutes of walking every day, instead of 10,000 or you can order pedometers at a low cost. We have secured a discounted price with Walk4Life so schools can order pedometers at a low cost. To order pedometers simply click on http://www.walk4life.com/home/Default.aspx
Once you get to the site, you will click on the ‘pedometers’ link and go to the W4L Neo II 2 Function Pedometer. At checkout, enter the coupon code BCAZ to receive more than a 50% discount on the pedometer. Offer valid through 12/31/2009.
3. At the end of the month, come back to the Walk On! Web site to enter results.
