Gold Medal Mile

This year we implemented the gold medal mile at Rose Creek Elementary to increase physical activity for our students and teachers. The Gold Medal Mile program is sponsored through the Utah State Department of Health and focuses on making changes to physical activity and nutrition to create a healthier school environment. Students and teachers are asked to walk at least one mile every week. We have several mile paths marked off on the school grounds so that there are plenty of places students can get their mile in during the week.

Mrs. Elder is our school coordinator and is doing a great job of motivating our students and teachers to continue to be active. This year she also taught fun games to our school and students have had a great time playing hopscotch, 4-square, and jacks.

This year we have completed the requirements for the bronze and silver level requirements. So far our students have walked 19,112,50 miles. We are keeping a chart in the main hallway to walk around the world. With our new March total we have now walked to Pusan, South Korea.
