KIS Walking Club
Over 50 percent of fourth and fifth-grade students at Kenston Intermediate School participated in the Recess Walking Club during the first semester. Proctors set up a walking course during recess with students participating walking at least three laps. They could choose to walk or run additional laps and report their daily total to the proctor. Every Friday, walkers were presented with a foot charm to correspond with the number of laps completed.
Kenston Intermediate School principal Jack DiCello recognized the top performing walkers. Top honors were awarded to fourth-graders: Margaret Eibler and Tyler McMahan, first place; Elizabeth Cooper and William Skladany, second place; and Colin Mast and Paige Preneta, third place.
