Healthy Habits Day

On Thursday, October 30, we celebrated "Healthy Habits Day" at St. Paul School. Grades K-5 did a walk/run around the school grounds at lunchtime, and learned about healthy food choices in school. I wore my pedometer - did you know that making an entire circuit of the school grounds (from the school down to the lake, across in front of the church, back up to Grosse Pointe Boulevard, and back to the school entrance) is almost 3/4's of a mile? That's a great walking route!

Our junior high students participated in a TAP Relay on the playground during first period. Although it was a beautiful bright sunny morning, it was certainly chilly (as our "crab walkers" discovered). Congratulations to Mr. Addis's TAP group, who won the trophy (beating out all the other TAP groups as well as the teacher's relay team).

Mrs. McNeill and Miss Ring discovered that leap frog, across the entire playground field, is not as easy as it looks!

Mrs. Ray performs the crab walk for the teachers' relay team - even with practice, that's tough to do on a frost-covered field!

Mrs. McGrath's TAP team took second place (and they're already planning their strategy for the Winter TAP Basketball tournament)!
