Tie up those tennis shoes and come on over to the park for this fall’s season of Walk and Talk.

Walk and Talk is an activity where the students gather at recess to walk or run with each other around a specified loop at Burns Park. The kids earn “toe tags” for a certain number of loops around the park and really are motivated by the fresh air, their friends and the encouragement of the parent volunteers.

We are hoping to start up the week of Sept. 21st if we can get our parent volunteers in place by then. If you can help out on Monday, Wednesday or Friday during lunch time (approximately from 11:15 – 1:10 or any part thereof), please contact Courtney Simon (csimon1974 at yahoo.com or 369-4695 ) or Leslie Sapp (jlsapp at comcast.net or 994-6186). We would also like to encourage parents to come and walk and talk with the kids – enjoy each other plus the added bonus of modeling/inspiring physical fitness too!

There is a fantastic opportunity for the kids to run in the Big House Big Heart 5k on Oct. 4th (finish line is on the 50 yard line) to raise money for Burns Park School and Walk and Talk. We’ll help get them ready!
