We are hoping to get more students involved in extra curricular activities and get them motivated to be healthy. By offering Track and Field, we can do exactly this. Many teens don't see the benefits that running has on their health. We want to change this by making track fun for them! Running is a lifetime activity; we would like to help them develop these habits and discover their own passion for fitness. Many of our students currently spend their free time playing with digital technology and/or making poor choices about drugs and alcohol. We want to get the kids back outdoors and exercising and interacting with each other, instead of with technology or other unhealthy habits. We have many low socioeconomic students who haven't had access to a variety of healthy activities. Track and Field is a sport that anyone can do and is relatively low-cost for families. Participating in Track teaches self-discipline, goal-setting, life-long healthy habits, and better decision making.
