BE SURE TO HAVE YOUR WALKING CONTEST TALLY SHEETS UPDATED BY THE END OF THE SCHOOL DAY ON FRIDAYS.  THANK YOU. CLARIFICATION ON THE WALKING CONTESTS We are relying on personal honesty. HOW TO EARN WALKING PATH CONTEST CREDIT FOR YOUR TEAM Walk or run laps on the school walking path during during school days:  7:30 am to 5:00 pm supervised by adults associated with school. Walking to school or home again does not count for this contest Walking field trips off school property do not count although we applaud the exercise. :( HOW TO EARN WALKING WEDNESDAY CREDIT FOR YOUR TEAM Count only the walk into school on Wednesdays.   Walking home is not factored in.  Walking to and from school on other days besides Wednesdays is not counted for the either of the contests. Again, we applaud the exercise, just not for this contest because it is too hard to verify.
