Middle Canyon Elementary

Gold Medal Schools 2006 - 2007

Middle Canyon
 
Middle Canyon staff  and students held their Walk to School day Wednesday, October 4, 2006.  It was a great success. 74% of the students participated (five hundred out of six hundred seventy four students).  About 200 parents walked with their children. Gold Medal School Walk to School Day

Gold Medal Mile Walk to School DayMany teachers supported the students on the Walk to School activity by meeting up with the students and walking to school with them.  The principal and Tooele High School Cheerleaders met the students as they came to school and passed out granola bars and pencils with the logo "Sharp Kids Walk to School Safely" written on them.

When children have teachers and support staff who set a good example, physical activity among children improves.

Students decided they wanted to walk the equivalent number of miles as if they really walked to China to retrieve their mascot - the mercat - whom they left there last year.

Here children are learning about the difference in healthy and non healthy frozen foods

During their five a day tour students learned a serving size of fruit or veggies would fit in their cupped hands.  They also learned about how fruits and vegetables are classified by colors and how each different color type of fruit and vegetables effect the body.
