Update on the Third-graders' GIFT Study
(Guthrie Intergenerational Fitness Team)
Only four of the 23 participating students returned their walking logs this week, but they had a total of minutes to date - 3036! This means that they are 152 miles into their virtual trip to San Diego Zoo!!!!
Towanda is one of the four school districts where third-grade students are participating in a research project about children's fitness. The students walk with an adult partner, recording the shared exercise time. Their times will be blended with those from the other districts, and will be converted into miles traveled on a virtual trip to San Diego. A map of the United States is on display in the TAES' main hallway, charting the progress of the students toward their goal. |
