Morning Move It!

On Mondays and Wednesdays from 7:50-8:05 for the rest of the year (weather dependent), all SA students are invited to join Mr. Bissonnette on the back field where you have the opportunity to run, walk, skip, jump or any other way of completing laps. We will count all of your laps throughout the year by collecting popsicle sticks and enjoying some music. Every ten sticks equals one mile! There are prizes for 5 miles, 10 miles, 15 miles and many other milestones, all the way up to 100 miles! If you are interested in joining us to earn some prizes and get an active warmup for the school day, no need to sign up! Just show up!
