6.  Online Steps Log:  Step counter required  *Grades 5-8

-  I am recommending that every Ruth Murdoch student begin to wear a step counter in order to gain an  awareness of personal daily activity levels.

-  An awareness of daily activity levels is intended to:

     1.  Help every student become more knowledgeable about their own personal activity levels and

     2.  Lead students to set proper daily activity level goals.

-  Students are encouraged to log their DAILY AVERAGE STEPS at least once a week.
