<p> Premier’s be active Challenge Lap – a – thon</p><p>How do you have a school fund-raiser and at the same time involve students in the Premier’s be active Challenge? Well, have a lap-a-thon. </p><p>Once sponsorship forms are distributed and the lap-a-thon day is set, students can start training for the day by running, jogging and walking. Students can start recording their activity in their be active Challenge diary.</p><p>Students at Seaford Rise Primary during term 2 trained in preparation for the lap-a-thon. During school time and after school many students trained for their district SAPSASA Cross Country event.</p><p>Some classes currently are jogging their way to China. On a map inside the classroom, as a combined total, student’s record and mark the distance they have travelled. Their aim is to run to China before the Olympics begin in August.</p><p>With all these incentives, the students have had a real purpose in doing their daily fitness activities, which not only benefits the school community with fund raising but also allows the classes to work as a group to achieve a specific goal. </p><p>Finally to open the lap-a-thon why not invite a Premier’s be active Challenge Ambassador to attend the special day and join in with the fun run.</p><p>Seaford Rise invited Mark Soderstrom to open the day. Mark spoke extremely well to students and parents about the need to keep fit and healthy by being active and eating a healthy diet. </p><p>An extra to the day is invite parents and caregivers to run along with the students.</p><p>If you need any details regarding how to run your own school’s Lap-a-thon please contact Seaford Rise Primary.</p><p>Peter Senyezyn Teacher, Seaford Rise Primary Parents joining in with students</p><p>Mark at Opening Ceremony</p>
