Yates Magnet School
Spotlight on Wellness
Yates Magnet School began the
"Yates Walking Bees" program in
mid-October. In this wellness
program, 5th and 6th grade students,
the principal and a small group of
teachers walk for 20 minutes per
day, three days per week. The
Walking Bees track their total miles
daily as a group and estimate
possible destinations. So far,
they've walked to Albany - the next
stop: Miami.
This program will eventually
expand and come to include an ELA
writing activity in which the
students will write letters inviting
different celebrities to join them
for their walk. With this, they
will work on their writing skills
and encourage others to exercise.
Right now the Walking Bees are
walking in the gym but they plan to
take their walks outdoors once
Spring arrives.
