First grader Dominic Williams gives a thumbs up for the wonderful presentation by the Rochester Lancers. Provided photoMembers of the Rochester Lancers visited Brockport’s Ginther Elementary School on February 9 to speak to kindergarten and first graders about making healthy choices. During the assemblies, team members included the Ginther School’s “Fitness Four” messages and discussed the importance of eating fruits and vegetables, drinking lots of water and getting lots of rest and exercise. The presentation was complete with demonstrations of some cool soccer moves.
“This visit tied in well with healthy initiatives already in place at Ginther,” said Ginther Principal Rosemary Custer.
On Fridays, students and staff members are encouraged to wear fitness clothes as they start the morning with a fitness activity (dancing, exercising, yoga). This year’s PTSA t-shirt contest theme is also related to the school’s ‘Fitness Four’ to continue the focus on wellness.
