Monthly Challenges:
This is a new endeavor for me this year but, I would like to challenge not only my students but, their families as well to rise to a more healthy life style in simple ways. I will post a monthly challenge here for your whole family to hopefully participate in. I would love to see the students return with some feedback on how their challenge went so watch for that as well. I will introduce each challenge in class but, check in at the beginning of the each month for the new challenge to be posted. I, personally look forward to taking on each challenge right along with you.
September:
For September's challenge, I would like to encourage you as a family to join me in the On Your Feet Friday walk sponsored by Gallagher Fitness here in Salem on September 13th at 5:30. This is a free event, with a very laid back feel. It is a fun walk around the downtown area, collecting stamps at local businesses in a 45 mins time frame, followed by a raffle for prizes back at the starting point. Enjoy walking the downtown streets and seeing some of the older architecture as you walk. Check out the link provided here for more info or feel free to email me if you have questions and I will do my best to find the answers. On Your Feet Friday. If you do participate be sure to look for me and come up and say hi. If you don't see me watch for other Myer's teachers who I know will be participating. I look froward to seeing you Sept 13th for On Your Feet Friday
