Wellness Day

All Maryland Avenue students participate in this special all-day program designed to encourage healthy living, good nutrition, and exercise. Morning activities may include classroom instructional activities, the PTA Jog-a-Thon, and a fun and informational assembly. Finally, our students participate in a two-hour Health Expo from 12:00 – 2:00pm. During this time, classroom groups of children rotate through eight 12-minute stations, focusing on healthy eating, physical exercise, and nutrition and health information. A healthy lunch will be provided free of charge for all students. We are very proud of our Wellness Day activities. They are fun and exciting and help students develop life long healthy habits.
