Crawfordville Cougars Walking Across America! 

{sidebar id=1}Crawfordville Elementary School is walking across America this year!  A healthy body ensures a more successful student, and we are doing our part to assure both!  Our goal at Crawfordville revolves around providing an environment with experiences necessary for personal growth and academic achievement for every child.  Our “Fit for Life” theme supports our efforts towards attaining that goal.

Students are shown the importance of a healthy life style physically, academically and socially.  To promote our theme, we visit various locations throughout the United States chosen by students and teachers.  We collectively walk laps, convert those laps to miles, and arrive at our stop fit for life and ready for our next state to explore.  Students are learning about the areas we visit, calculating miles traveled, and becoming “Fit for Life!”

Crawfordville Cougars have already traveled to Washington DC, the Smokey Mountains, Maine and Massachusetts, totaling 5, 766 miles!  Our next stop will be Austin, Texas!  We will walk all year, visit as many places as possible, and continue to improve our lives physically, academically and socially.
