February Results of the Jacobson Elementary Walking Program

February Walking Program Results

Kindergarten: 57%(55% for January)

1^st Grade: 35%(27% for January)

2^nd Grade: 46%(41% for January)

3^rd Grade: 31%(43% for January)

5^th Grade: 45%(52% for January)

6^th Grade: 53%(56% for January)

The school average for the month of February was 47% so not enough to do the “pie in the face” with Mr. Lewis.  Mr. Lewis said that he was willing to do the same challenge for the month of March.  So let’s work extra hard this month to accomplish that challenge. 

This month we walked approximately 44,580 or 2,346 miles.  That was enough miles to walk from Belmond to the state capitols of North Carolina(Raleigh) and Connecticut(Hartford). 

Congratulations to the 4^th grade students for winning the top participation trophies once again.  Congratulations to the 1^st grade classes for getting the most improved participation.

Special activity days were long and short jump rope, Sport Stacking, walking with the Belmond Medical Center and Wright Medical Center employees, and special appearance by Ryan Dugger.

Second and final order for Speed Stacks

The first order for Speed Stacks(cupstacking) was so popular that we decided to do a second and FINAL order.  If you are interested in getting any products ordered, please fill out the order form that was sent home with your child and get it turned in by March 14.  You may also go online to SpeedStacks.com and find our school group order form and order from there.  If you order through our school group order, you will get the products at a reduced rate.  Also, any orders done through the school order will give the school credit to buy products for our school program.  If you have any questions about it, please call Mrs. Trampel at extension 353 or stop in to see her.  We want you to get the Speed Stacks that would be best beneficial for your child.  They make great gifts and also help intellectually and physically.
