Congratulations to Oak Grove for walking 6,087 miles in 10 days-  We made it to through several capitals and finished in Helena, Montana.  

What the Healthy Steps Program did for our school
1. Brought the school community together to achieve a common health goal.
2. Increased students' math skills as they added up their daily miles.
3. Allowed opportunity for classroom teachers to incorporate geography via the virtual hike, as students tracked their school's progress across North America.
4. Increased energy levels of students and staff.
5. Increased school spirit and teamwork.
6. Encouraged walking as an excellent lifelong form of exercise.
