FITNESS FRIDAY UPDATE

Mark your calendars. Our next walk day is Friday February 5, 2010. As always, if you want to volunteer or sponsor, contact Leslie Reckler (lesmac@sbcglobal.net).

Thank you to all of our December walkers who braved the chilly weather to join us. We had a little over 100 kids sign in - approximately 18% of the school.

As some of you know, we applied for a $1,000 mini-grant through The National Center for Safe Routes to School to help to build our walking program. Unfortunately, we were not chosen. Competition was quite stiff - 247 applications and only 25 awards (about 10% of applicants). However, a big Congratulations to Cesar E. Chavez Elementary School (San Pablo, Calif.) which won an award!

More grant money is available in late Spring 2010, and we will apply again!
