Northview Elementary School will host the first annual Laps for Learning event. At 2pm on Friday, September 18, 320 students from the school will participate in the event to raise money for the school’s Parent-Teacher Organization.
Students will walk laps around the school in varying lengths depending on which grade they are in. The students have set goals in their Physical Education class and will work to achieve their goals.
The Laps for Learning came about as a way to stay in tune with the city’s Fit City program and its emphasis on exercise and being healthy. The event is happening with the help of the Mayor’s Office, Valparaiso Department of Parks and Recreation, Family Express, Bylthe’s Sports Shop, the Valparaiso YMCA, and Valparaiso University.
For more information, please contact Julie at the school at 531.3100.
