100-Mile Walker
Oak Hill Elementary Fifth Grader Zoey French has been very motivated. She has already reached 100 miles walked in the 2019-2020 OHES Walking Oaks Club. For reaching 50 miles, she earned a water bottle, and for 75 miles, she earned a gift card. For the 100 mile achievement, she has earned a fanny pack and bracelet. Her goal is to reach or exceed 500 miles walked by the end of the school year. The Walking Oaks is sponsored by Holzer Health Systems and the Jackson County Health Department. October 2019
Active Acorns
The Fall 2019 Active Acorns welcomed Dawn Richards from SOMC’s Community Health Department. Dawn has been coming to the Active Acorn Meetings for 5 years now, and the students always enjoy her informative and entertaining activities. At this meeting, the Acorns learned the importance of stretching and exercising, especially after extended time using electronics.
