Healthy Highlights at
Williamson County Schools
Hunters Bend Elementary
Walking Program – The entire school walks between
10-20 minutes, rain or shine, each day participating
in the Blue Cross/Blue Shield “Walking Works for
Schools” program. Each teacher has a pedometer and
Lisa Arnold, physical education teacher, keeps a
running record of the miles the teachers are
walking.
Fitness Teams - Lisa Arnold also sponsors and works
with a jump rope team, a dance troupe team of third
through fifth graders from January to March and a
triathlon team that participates in the GJCC
triathlon on Memorial Day. Tennessee Crossroads did
a feature on the “Hot Shots” jump rope team which
airs on Nashville Public Television in May of 2009
on the 14th at 7pm and on the 17th
at 10am. NPT followed the team traveling to
various schools in Middle Tennessee as they promoted
staying healthy and active through rope skipping.
This segment will also be available through United
Streaming for schools to view.
Marathon –
After the holidays, HBES will be
preparing students for the Country Music Kids’
Marathon in April.
