Organiser's Description
About this Event
Welcome to the annual 5k and 1 mile fun run for the Rockport Public Schools Health and Wellness Programs. The race was born from the desire to get our students and community more involved in health and wellness activities. This is our second year partnering with the Educational Foundation for Rockport (EFR). The money raised from this year's race will go directly to the EFR to be used to support our health and wellness programs at the Rockport Public Schools. Our goal is to inspire a lifetime fitness and wellness way of being by providing programming that supports wellness. This past year we sponsored a family online health cooking class with Becca Gutstadt and purchased wellness kits for all students at the elementary school to support fitness at home.We have also funded a choose your passion unit. Students were able to choose a wellness modality and work in small groups with a teacher or coach who shared that same passion. We had students hiking, mountain biking, playing tennis, orienteering, cooking healthy food and much more. This program was a huge success and we look forward to growing it. In the past we have purchased 35 pairs of snowshoes for our physical education classes as well as funded guest speakers, yoga instructors for the district, acro yoga classes, juggling club equipment, support for our elementary school run club program, water fountains and water filtration systems, composting system and program run by 5th grade leaders, jump rope for health program and much more.
