GET ACTIVE HOWARD MIDDLE SCHOOL!

To the right, to the right, to the left, to the left! Now kick, now kick! Now walk it by yourself, now walk it by yourself! Exercising is very important to your health. In America alone, 58 million people are overweight, 40 million are obese and 3 million are morbidly obese.

On Friday, April 23, OCPS Employee Wellness Program (EWP) hosted a day where all schools get active and have fun!

All of the staff and students at Howard Middle School will be coordinating a dance featuring the “Cha Cha Slide”, “Cupid Shuffle” and “Crank Dat” (Soulja Boy).

I was actually taking some photographs, and I have to tell you this, it was HILARIOUS! We took some time to get everything together but it all worked out fine in the end. Some of the teachers didn’t know the steps to the Cha Cha Slide or Cupid Shuffle, which made it even more fun to watch them learn and let loose. Every time we would jump, the whole floor shook and I was pretty sure that we would all cause the floor to collapse! Everyone was having a great time laughing and having fun!

This is just one example of all of the fun activities that are out there. It’s time to get active, so next time, come join in all of the fun and stay moving for health!
