Winter Walk to School Month: Week 4 - Build a Snow Sculpture
Hmmm... that might be tricky this week. With temperatures being higher than normal and the lack of snow, the Week 4 challenge might look a little different.
Instead of building something out of snow, get outside for an "out of the ordinary for winter" activity. Play a round of frisbee golf, ride your bike, fly a kite, draw on your driveway with chalk, etc.
Prizes will be given out on Monday, March 4th. Students can watch their email to submit participation.
Did you know that cooler temperatures help you sleep better? Winter walking results in a more restful night's sleep.
