 Ready, Set, WALK!

Newman Elementary School has joined the Gold Medal Schools Program sponsored by the Utah Department of Health. Gold Medal Schools makes it possible for elementary schools to provide physical activity and healthy nutrition choices. The program improves students’ academic success through policies and environmental changes that support good nutrition, physical activity and staying tobacco-free. A highlight of the program is walking the Gold Medal Mile track daily at recess or as a class. The school will track all miles walked by students and staff with incentives available as Newman reaches the goals of the program. Principal Ruesch challenges everyone to GET READY, GET SET, WALK
