As campuses across CFB strive for fitness, McCoy hosts PTA walkathon. The event is a project with the PTA and the American Heart Association. Students at McCoy Elementary and at campuses across the district walked around their campus for 15 minutes today. Some students and staff at McCoy sported drums to help strike a tempo as students began their journey around the building. Additionally, 5th grade students were paired with younger students to walk with during the walkathon. The endeavor is to encourage students to move every day, breathing fresh air, and to start life-long habits of health and fitness. Walking is a great exercise because it is a simple activity that requires no special equipment. According to the American Heart Association, walking at least 30 minutes a day can help reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.

Advanced artists at Ranchview High School participated in a Syrian refugee portrait project called The Memory Project. The Memory Project is a non-profit effort by UNICEF. The project allows students to create and donate portraits to youth around the world that face substantial challenges. RHS artists were assigned images of Syrian refugee students. These portraits are hand-delivered to the refugee camps. Art teacher, Caroline Kinlaw, states, “the portraits give the recipients something tangible, showing that someone on the other side of the world cares about them. These advanced artists are working to build a kinder world, one portrait at a time.”
