The benefits of The Walking Classroom are critical at such a challenging time. Our students are dealing with the repercussions from the COVID-19 pandemic, so healthy methods for dealing with stress and learning loss are key.
I appreciate The Walking Classroom for supporting the students at Williston Middle School. Budget cuts are happening in school districts around the country, so funding is not available for special programs like this.
I believe in this program and the benefits it can provide to our middle school students. Having witnessed the changes in student mood and behavior from just one walking session, I am excited to continue to use the program with my students. I look forward to continuing to add fitness to their lives and to providing lessons that meet the needs of auditory learners.

I agree! Being able to use this program as a positive coping mechanism has been helpful to my students as well.
