A Walk for a Healthy you

Hello Fellow Yellians and Friends of Yelle,

Yet again last week the students and staff at Yelle showed how wonderful they are and what a great community they have built. Last Tuesday the entire school and Mr. Williams a former New England Patriot walked around the track of the high school for about 45 minutes. The weather could not have been better and the energy level of everyone was intense. This was the kick off to Play 60, a program that promotes healthy lifestyles for all. The program challenges students to get up and out and play or be physical for 60 minutes a day. A special thank you goes out to several people who helped us succeed in our goal to begin to live a healthy lifestyle. Mr. Williams was very kind to come to our school and give us encouragement, Karen Duross Rogers, our school nurse organized the walk, Dr. Ansay walked with us and was our own personal cheerleader throughout the morning, Mr. Dewar was gracious enough to let all 490 of us invade his track for most of the morning and especially Mr. V the Health Teacher at Norton High School, he inspired and challenged us to do our own Personal Best.

Please check in with us next week as we follow the steps of our Literacy Coach, Sharon Roberts as she visits classrooms and works her magic with our students. Have a great week.
