REPORTS AND PICTURES WALKING CONTEST RESULTS This past week there was amazing participation in the walking contest.  Many teams put in serious miles!!! Each lap is a tiny fraction over 1/2 mile. Using this measurement it was possible to calculate that the THE VOYAGERS walked more than 341 miles (682 laps), or roughly 6 miles per person.  They are the current champions. Team USA, never a strong walking contest competitor in the past, completed an impressive 283 miles (565 laps) to finish a strong second. Other learning communities are going to have to step up their game or be left behind. VOYAGERS - Leaders for Week 2 and overall contest leaders As for the Pre-K through 3rd Grade learning communities, the Explorers are the week's outstanding performers with 232 miles (466 laps = approximately 4 miles per person). Nice work. EXPLORERS - outstanding Pre-K through 3rd Grade team for week two. NOTABLE WALKING PATH PERFORMERS FROM WEEK TWO Apology to any student that may have been overlooked.
