'Kids on the Go' run for their health Naples Daily News
The children lined the Golden Gate High School track,[url=http://duveticapiuminiitalia.webmium.com/][b]http://duveticapiuminiitalia.webmium.com/[/b][/url], extending their arms to give high fives to their schoolmates as they ran past. Approximately 250 students from three Golden Gate area elementary schools,[url=http://duveticacanadashop.halod.com/][b]duvetica down jackets online sale[/b][/url], along with their parents, siblings, teachers and administrators showed up at the school last Wednesday evening for the culmination of the Kids on the Go program.
Since September, more than 300 third, fourth and fifth graders from the schools have run a total of 26.2 miles each, the distance of a marathon race. They came together at the Golden Gate High football track to run the last celebratory mile and hear a message - along with their parents - about healthy living, how exercise and eating right combine to build healthy bodies.
"It's fabulous for our kids to be out and moving," said Mike Davis Elementary School Principal Melanie Fike. "We start our day with running club in the morning." The example of the "older" kids,[url=http://giuseppezanottioutletonline.webmium.com/][b]giuseppe zanotti outlet online Sale[/b][/url], third grade and up,[url=http://peutereyoutletitalia.albirank.net/][b]Peuterey Outlet Italia Compra Giubbotti Peuterey Online[/b][/url], inspires the lower grades, and helps the runners concentrate in class, she said.
"The kids love this. They're really motivated," said Golden Gate Elementary School Principal Chuck Frontz. "We started in the spring, and now a lot of them are running outside school as well."
"We burn a little of that energy,[url=http://woolrichoutletdeutschland.olimx.com/][b]http://woolrichoutletdeutschland.olimx.com/[/b][/url], get the wiggles out and the teachers get more focus in the classroom," said Terri Lonnemann, Golden Terrace Elementary School principal. "The younger kids say, "Me too! Me too! I want to do that.'"
One mile equals four times around the track circling the football field. One grade level at a time, the students at a time lined up to start, then ran right through a banner to begin circling the field, collecting a popsicle stick for each lap. Collier County Superintendent of Schools Kamela Patton was on hand to fire the starting gun.
The medals,[url=http://monclerwesteoutletbillig.albirank.net/][b]http://monclerwesteoutletbillig.albirank.net/[/b][/url], the banners and the color-coded T-shirts the students wore all carried the legend "95210." Student Andrea Tello read out over the PA system the meaning of the numbers, which had nothing to do with Beverly Hills or television.
The numbers stand for nine hours of sleep a night, five servings of fruits and vegetables per day, two hours max of TV/video screen time a day, at least one hour of physical activity per day, and the zero - eliminating sugary beverages, such as soft drinks, from the diet. The program also advocates BFF - breastfeeding for the first year of a child's life.
Clearly, the kids had plenty of energy, and the physical activity portion of the 95210 prescription was covered for the day. Older, slower-moving people were in peril of being run into as kids zoomed everywhere, not limiting themselves to the four laps around the track.
Pouring their hearts into the effort,[url=http://2013rogerviviershoessaks.blogspot.com/][b]Roger Vivier Boots Outlet[/b][/url], some youngsters took off at a pace they couldn't sustain over a mile's distance,[url=http://duveticacanadashop.halod.com/][b]duvetica jackets canada outlet shop duvetica down jackets online sale[/b][/url], and ended up running slower or even walking. The kids cheered each other on,[url=http://peutereyoutletitalia.albirank.net/][b]http://peutereyoutletitalia.albirank.net/[/b][/url], high-fiving the other grades of their school as they passed. The Mike Davis Elementary kids, in particular, kept up a chant of "M-D-E" to show their spirit.
After they finished, Patton and Safe and Healthy Children's Coalition Chairman Todd Vedder, a local pediatrician, helped put a medal on a ribbon, Olympic-style,[url=http://parajumpersjacketsstores.blogspot.com/][b]parajumpers jackets store[/b][/url], around the neck of each runner once they ran their four laps.
"This is awesome. Look at how many parents are here,[url=http://merrellshoesusaonline.blogspot.com/][b]http://merrellshoesusaonline.blogspot.com/[/b][/url], and for a health-related reason,[url=http://2013rogerviviershoessaks.blogspot.com/][b]http://2013rogerviviershoessaks.blogspot.com/[/b][/url]," said Patton. "Parents are key,[url=http://woolrichoutletdeutschland.olimx.com/][b]Woolrich Blizzard Parka Deutschland Woolrich Arctic Parka Outlet Deutschland[/b][/url], because they control what foods come into the house." The simple, numbers-based program is one the students and their parents can remember and act on, she said. "Simple is good. They're like little sponges - they soak up everything, good and bad, so it's important to put out positive messages."
The kids also got prizes, and courtesy of major program sponsor Whole Foods, apples, bananas and bottles of water. Julie Joiner,[url=http://monclerjackenoutletonlineshop.albirank.net/][b]Moncler Jacke Günstig Moncler Jacken Outlet Online Shop Kaufen 88%Off[/b][/url], a Whole Foods' Health Starts Here specialist, spoke briefly on the importance of proper nutrition and encouraged the children to enjoy the healthy snacks once they completed their run.
The Golden Gate High School drumline entertained before and during the run, and the school's JROTC color guard presented the flag to begin the presentation, along with the national anthem and pledge of allegiance.
Rosalind Gedeon, whose third grader goes to Mike Davis Elementary, said she is taking the health message to heart,[url=http://woolrichjacketstore.blogspot.com/][b]http://woolrichjacketstore.blogspot.com/[/b][/url], and attempting to put healthy meals in front of her family. Their dinner on Wednesday night?
