Students in grades K-8 attended an assembly with motivational speaker, ultra-endurance runner and school fitness enthusiast Paul Staso to share his foundation, Promoting Active Children Everywhere (PACE). PACE started with a promise Paul made to his daughter’s 5th grade class that he would run as far as they could run as a group. In the end, he ran 4,880 miles across the U.S. averaging 30 miles per day! At our assembly Paul talked about the importance of leading an active, healthy lifestyle, proper nutrition, and fitness goal setting. CIS made a promise to Paul that we would attempt to run the same distance as he is on his next Pace Trek: 506 miles (the distance across the Mojave Desert). In addition to promoting fitness among our students, this chal- lenge is a great way to build community within our school as families can log miles and participate as well. Every mile counts! We’ll start counting this week, and continue until Spring Break starts on April 22nd. Follow Paul at www.pacetrek.com. Why don’t we get moving, get out those sneakers, follow Paul and get active! Keep you own log as a family, add your miles to our school’s miles. Maybe just set out your own virtual journey and run or walk. Let’s get moving CIS! —— Coach Greg

Health Tip for March March is Nutrition Month, and this year's theme is:
Eat Right with Color We encourage everyone to develop sound eating and physical activity choices. Have your children list the colors of the rainbow and name 5 fruits and vegetables that are each of those colors. You can find several nutri-tion education resources at www.eatright.org.
—- Kind Regards The School Health Team
DART Realty to Conduct Air Testing Starting this month, Dart Realty will be conducting air testing related to air-odor issues due to the school’s close proximity to the George Town Landfill. Results from previous related testing (conducted from 2006 -2008) com-plied with acceptable standards and regulations in the USA and Canada. Their research has shown that the gases emitted by landfills are not typically dangerous for humans. Dart Realty has placed equipment on campus to conduct continuous air monitoring. Testing should be complete by approximately 31 May 2011.
