Could you walk across the whole state? Well that is what
most of our 1st thru 6th graders from Bennington and Tescott
Schools did this last nine weeks. Walk across Kansas for Kids was a
nine-week program that promotes fun, physical activity and great
food choices for 1st thru 6th grade. Students who participate had
to log or record their amount of time they spent doing physical
activity each day. The class with the most points received shirts
as well as metals for their outstanding devotion to physical
fitness. Barbara Webb, Bennington Head Cook, felt that the Walk
Kansas for Kids program was a fun and flexible way to get our
students and families moving toward health and fitness in our
communities. We appreciate all the hard work and dedication she put
forth to help make this program possible. The winning class for
Bennington Schools was a combined effort of the 2nd grand classes
(Mrs. Callahan and Mrs. Trout).
