J.D. LEVER WALKING CLUB

Students at J.D. Lever in grades K-5 are participating in a 12 week walking club sponsored by Blue Cross/Blue Shield. The name of this program is Walking Works for South Carolina Schools. Every class is encouraged to walk at least 5 minutes each day. Teachers have been given a United States map with footprints starting in South Carolina and ending at Disneyland in California. Teachers write down the total minutes walked for each day on a footprint. Total minutes walked will be added up at the end of the 12 weeks and those classes who walked at least 270 minutes will receive an incentive prize. Each teacher was also given a pedometer to allow students to see how many steps they take during their walk. The contact at Blue Cross/Blue Shield is Annie Fearon (803-382-5068).
