We all know the importance of regular exercise and staying physically fit. With today’s sedentary and high-stress lifestyle, it is more important than ever to promote healthy habits early. School sports and fitness programs provide regular exercise for our children but also require supplemental funding as costs rise and school budgets stretch.

Salem Academy Charter School, a grades 6-12 public charter school in Salem, MA is embarking on a community fitness initiative to support a physical fitness/health and wellness program for our school, which is situated in Shetland Office Park. Since we have no fitness facilities of our own, our students use community facilities and fields for our games and fitness programs.  We are raising money  to support the associated coaching, fees, equipment, and facility rental costs.  In addition, we plan to develop a health and wellness model to share with other small schools with limited or non-existent fitness facilities.

We are excited to build a team of teachers, trustees, parents, community members and students to run in and to support this September’s Reach the Beach relay race in NH. This is a 208-mile course starting at Cannon Mt. and finishing 24-36 hours later on Hampton Beach.  Leading by example, the team is building awareness of the importance of exercise and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Maintaining that goal, through fitness, health and wellness program support, is critical.
