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. |

Overall wellness is important to all and at all stages in ones’ life thus the importance of establishing active lifestyles and healthy behaviors, within the elementary grade levels, is where healthy habits begin. Teaching students to enjoy various movements, as they participate in a variety of activities tailored to developing important motor skills, is the foundation crucial to a healthy lifestyle.

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.
