School Based Activities

West Vincent Walking Club

West Vincent is starting a walking club as part of the OJR Wellness Program. We are planning to start the club on Monday, February 1, 2010. All students will have an opportunity to walk a designated path during recess every day, weather and path conditions permitting. The students will have a personal goal, as well as a school wide goal. The progress for the school wide goal will be displayed on a bulletin board, and the student's individual progress will be logged. The students will receive charms and a bracelet for milestones, and trophies at the end of the program.

We are looking for volunteers to come in during recess to help monitor the students that participate and to log their laps. The time frame would be from 10:40 to 12:30. We will be filling the volunteer slots according to grade. Volunteers can work more than one recess if they are available.
If you are interested in volunteering and have all the appropriate clearances on file in the main office, please fill out the form attached below. Please select two grades and mark them as your first choice and second choice. Also, please select the days that you are available to come in.

Thank you for your assistance! Together we can all promote the benefits of walking and staying healthy to our students!

The projects are awesome! The following students were selected by our judges to
participate in the Chester County Research Competition.

6th Grade : Conner Dunleavy, David Dinius, Michelle Intoccia, Sarah Hume, and Jack Burger

5th Grade : Evan Phillips, Jane Lasak, Kristen Cornell, Hannah Foster, and Nicholas Serkes

4th Grade : Henry Chronowski, Melinda Burns, Josie Funaro, Matthew Davis, and Carly Jennion.

>>>>> Walk-a-thon Rescheduled to Tuesday September 29th <<<<<

West Vincent students will be able to participate in a mini walk-a-thon on Tuesday, September 29^th during recess time. The mini walk will be held on the upper field at West Vincent. Children will collect sponsors to pledge money for each lap they complete. Children average two laps in a recess period. Sheets will be due September 18^th to your child’s homeroom teacher. Pledge money will be collected after the walk when your child’s laps are tallied.

Parent volunteers are needed to help tally the walkers. If you would like to volunteer anytime between the hours of 10:30-12:15 please contact Kellie Bean at 610-469-1405 or kbean@ojrsd.com.
