Wellness Fair Recap

Good afternoon, Wildcats!

     

       I just wanted to share a few photos from this year's Wellness Fair, as well as a video to give you ideas for making an obstacle course of your own. Thank you so much to all of you who were able to join us for the fun and sweat :) 

 Experiencing how heart rate responds to exercise

 Checking out an easy way to track activity level - pedometers

 Learning how to make smart food choices by building our own trail mix

        This is an obstacle course I set up for my nephew last summer, and he loved trying to beat his previous time :) An obstacle course is a really easy, inexpensive way to keep your Wildcat active and entertained for an evening. Try one out in your own backyard!

Hope you had a great Memorial Day weekend!

Wilson Wellness Fair May 25th!!!

Hey Wildcats!

      I just wanted to remind all of you that this Thursday, May 25th is our annual Wilson Wellness Fair! The fair will run from 6:00 to 7:30 in the Wilson gym and outside on the North Park side. Looks like we are going to have some great weather for the event!

       We have some really fun activities in the works for the fair, and I hope all of you will take time to stop by. There will be an obstacle course, FREE snacks, physical activity stations, nutrition stations, and a FREE raffle with participation in the various stations.

       Make sure to wear your exercise clothes parents - your student is eligible for bigger prizes if you participate in the stations along with them. The first 50 Wildcats to turn in their "passport to health" will receive a free t-shirt. We have some really great raffle prizes this year including a bike, skateboard, sports equipment, fitness equipment with Garmin Vivofit, Play it Again Sports gift cards, and family passes to Timberhill Athletic Club. This event is completely free, and it is a great opportunity to have some fun and get sweaty as a family.

Hope to see you there,
Miss Stone

Outdoor Challenge

Happy Friday Wildcats!

       With the beautiful weather this week, we were able to get outside a bit for PE. We continued with our Frisbee unit, but we also took advantage of the sunny weather to complete an Outdoor Challenge. The students worked in teams of 3 - 5 to finish nine different tasks to challenge their physical fitness.

This is our list of challenges...

 Run a lap around the Wildcat trail 
 Skip to the monkey bars and hang for 15 seconds 
 Run and touch all 4 fences surrounding Wildcat Park 
 Gallop to the swings and do 10 squats 
 Run to Wildcat Park and do 5 push-ups with hands on the bench seat 
 Walk to the basketball hoop and do 10 jumping jacks 
 Skip to the soccer goal and reach toward your toes for 15 second stretch 
 Run to Wildcat Park and go down the slide 
 Slide to the four square court and 3 people a high 5 

 See Miss Stone when your team finishes :) 

Creating your own Outdoor Challenge course is a fun and effective way that you can motivate your Wildcat to get some exercise on the weekends or in the evenings. Wildcat Park is a perfect space for doing a family challenge like this one. Thanks for checking in!
