ROCK SPRINGS — At least 292 K-6 students in School District No. 1 learned how to get active and move around on Thursday at Western Wyoming Community College.
Health Moves Minds was run by local PE teachers Annette Ice, Gina Comstock, Matthew Gardner, Katie Searle, Eric Urlacher, Kim Fouts, Kim Buston, Deb Stephenson. Twenty-five Western college athletes also volunteered throughout the day.
The stations focused on sport skills, movement, mental health and plenty of other informative and fun activities.
Each individual school that participated, ran a Health Moves Minds fundraiser through SHAPE America. The funds went to local charity partners such as Make-a-Wish Wyoming, back to schools for Physical education/recess equipment to promote physical activity, and to the Wyoming Association of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance/SHAPE America to make a healthier nation.
