100 Mile Walking Club '13

Thanks to a grant from the Active Schools Acceleration Project, Oak Hill Elementary students are participating in the 100 Mile Club^®.  This program provides the opportunity to run or walk 100 miles at school during recess, which improves school readiness to learn, creates better educational outcomes, building self-esteem and the overall health in the lives of children and others.  Students are rewarded for reaching milestones, with incentives of t-shirts, pencils, and bracelets.  When they reach the 100 mile milestone, they will be awarded a special medal at the end of the year.  Currently, 62 OHES students are enrolled in the program.
