REPORTS AND PICTURES WALKING WEDNESDAY RESULTS The Incredibles decided to go all in on this week's Walking Wednesday 5-31-2017.  Ms. Aliquo and Mr. Clark met students at the Taylor Park fountain and walked in with them to school. Incredibles from other areas of the city also walked or biked in.  Altogether, 39 members of their team came to school on foot or bike.  The Incredibles are this week's Walking Wednesday champions and they are also the 2017 Walking Wednesday contest champions with 107 points (1 point awarded for each walk or bike to school over five weeks).  They surpassed the Voyagers (83 points) and the Investigators (77 points). The incredibles won an hour of pool party time on June 20th.  Congratulations. THE VOYAGERS THIS WALKING WEDNESDAY General pictures from Walking Wednesday. TWO MORE WALKING PATH LAPS REPORTS FROM LAST WEEK IMAGINATION Last week Team Imagination had the highest number of laps completed for Pre-K through 3rd grade learning communities.  They completed 333 laps.  Wonderful job! TRAVELERS When all the laps were added up over the four weeks of the walking lap contest, Team Travelers became the 2017 champions for the Pre-K through 3rd grade learning communities. They completed an impressive total of 841 laps which barely edged out the Investigators who had 830 laps. Super job Travelers and Investigators.
