We are Walton Strong! This school year may look a little different but we will continue to work together for the Health of it! Be sure to scroll down this webpage for Fitness and Nutritional information posted just for you from Mrs. Hagee and Mrs. Holt! Feel free to contact us as we work together to stay fit and practice good nutritional habits.
Throughout the course of the year, students will develop positive social skills while they perform various motor skills and identify basic anatomical body parts utilized in the activities and games. Students will describe how to incorporate fitness in their daily activities and explain the importance of providing the body with energy through good nutrition. |

Exercise and eating healthy are both important to taking good care of our bodies. Walton's PE department has provided students with several worksheets to help them understand what kinds of foods are important to eat to help keep our bodies fueled. While students are out of school, this would be a great time for students to work through the nutritional worksheets and learn about the MyPlate and gain some understanding into what healthy eating is all about. Also, be sure to check out our videos to help you learn more about the MyPlate as we give you some simple to make healthy snacks.
