Ms. Trudel recently acquired pedometers for each student and introduced them to a year-long project that combines physical fitness with math and analysis. This initiative supports new research indicating the more the body works, the more the brain is stimulated.

The students wear their pedometers all day at school, increasing awareness of their physical activity. Sandy hopes the program will inspire them to a lifelong awareness of fitness both mentally and physically.

We salute Ms. Trudel for her creative physical and mental fitness program as we honor her with the latest Healthy Tomorrow award.
This award recognizes individuals and organizations whose contributions significantly improve the quality of life locally, thereby helping our communities look forward to a vibrant, healthy future.
