Fourth-grader Nathan Dancy and his fellow students at Toquam Magnet Elementary School got a good workout during the school’s annual jog-a-thon. The school-wide event promoted healthy living.

The all-day event last week found kids on the school play fields Hula Hooping, tugging (in a tug-of-war) and even doing Zumba. There was also a massage therapist, nutrition counseling and samples from Robeks. All aspects of health were covered, not just physical fitness.

Does your child’s school have an activity or project that would make an interesting story. Let reporter Anthony Buzzeo know by commenting below or sending an e-mail to tbuzzeo@mainstreetconnect.us.
