Welcome to the Stonewall PTA Health and Wellness Page
Stonewall is working to be “Healthy and Fit”. We had over 200 students and their families participate in the PTA 5K. This year, the school started the exploration (Exercise Program of Leaving Our Rooms All Together to Investigate Our Neighborhood) program. Once a month, all students and school staff will leave campus and walk a one-mile route through the neighborhood.
In the upcoming year, we are going to be working with students to increase their fruit and vegetable consumption and their physical activity. Please support your child as they work to incorporate these behaviors. Below are some links to helpful information on how to be more active as a family and how to incorporate more fruits and vegetables in to your family’s diet.
