Students from Shawnee Elmwood Primary School were able to get outside and enjoy the warm weather.
In cooperation with INEOS, the school took part in The Daily Mile, a program committed to improving the health and wellbeing of students and staff.
Through the event, organizers hope that the students take the joy of being outside and exercising with them for the rest of their lives.
"So we started this initiative with INEOS to get them outside, active, just to get out in nature, just getting out in the wind, the rain, the snow, whatever is not going to hurt them, that they can do this and be very resilient," said Heather Kohli, an event organizer. "And we are hoping that they carry this on and we can do it in the other schools, Maplewood, middle school, high school, as well."
The track around the school was scheduled to take the students at least fifteen minutes to complete.
