Walk On! Challenge for Fifth Graders

Calling Arizona Fifth-Graders!

The 2010 Walk On! Challenge is challenging fifth-graders across Arizona to exercise for 60 minutes per day each day during the month of February. The idea is to inform kids like you about the benefits of exercise and inspire you to get moving for at least 60 minutes every day.

To do it, we need you to accept the challenge. The Walk On! program is implemented in fifth-grade classrooms and relies on teachers and their students alike. To participate, you have a few options:

• If you’re in fifth grade and want to participate in the Walk On! Challenge, ask your teacher to visit this Web site and order a brochure kit today.
  
• If you’re in fifth grade and want to participate in the Walk On! Challenge, but the deadline to order brochure kits has passed, that’s OK. We still want you to accept the challenge. Ask your teacher to download a copy of the Walk On! Challenge brochure from this Web site. Photocopies work just as well!
  
• If you’re not in fifth grade, but still want to accept the challenge, download the Walk On! Challenge brochure from this Web site and start moving. Track your minutes of exercise, aiming for 60 minutes per day. If you participate in the program, but you’re not in a participating fifth-grade class*, you are not eligible for the prizes.
  

Need a little motivation to keep you going? Every fifth-grader in a participating fifth-grade class who completes the Challenge will receive a popular drawstring backpack. And that’s not all. Kids in participating fifth-grade classrooms who complete the whole challenge and submit their results will be eligible to win prizes such as 40 iPod® shuffles and five Wii™ Fit consoles.

*A participating fifth-grade class is defined as a classroom with a teacher who signed up to participate in the Walk On! Challenge and is including it as part of regular classroom curriculum. Teacher submits results of the Challenge for the classroom.
