White City Elementary School in St. Lucie County, has a great after school workout for students, says Katrina Gonzalez, Wellness Champion. Students meet after school on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:30-4:30. They have over 53 students signed up so far. The hour starts out with a warm up that might include pushups, toe touches, jumping jacks, stretching and running laps. After a short water break, students then get to choose a sport, for example, soccer or basketball. At the end of the hour, students enjoy another break which includes water and healthy snacks. Students can either bring their own snack, or the school provides fruits and vegetables. The program is gaining momentum and the kids love it!! Kudos to White City for leading the way in student wellness!!
