The Durham PBIS team wanted to integrate the four PAX values (Productivity, Peace, Health and Happiness) in our school year. We did a food drive in the fall for Productivity, students painted rocks for Peace in December. Students are now running a marathon for Health.

During the weeks of February 18th through February 28th, we are celebrating our PAX value Health. To celebrate Health, we will do jump rope and fitness in PE class. We will be talking about our heart and how to keep our hearts healthy (not only in the literal sense through physical activity but also figuratively speaking, through kindness and positivity).

As a school wide PE and health activity Durham students will run a marathon - each class will contribute one or two miles of running which will then add up to 26.2 miles - the length of a marathon.

Feel free to talk to your kids at home about staying healthy and what activities you can do at home as a family.
