Shelton Bulldog Walking Club

The Bulldog Walking Club's Mission is to develop healthy minds and bodies, thus improving learning and quality of life. At Shelton Public School we value the benefits physical activity has on students' mental and physical well-being. These benefits can lead to decreased illness and classroom management issues, improved attendance, and overall performance. As a result, Bulldog Walking Club promotes greater success in and out of the classroom while creating lifetime fitness skills.

The benefits of BWC for our students include:

• Increases energy in the brain making you ready to learn when class starts (wakes you up)

• Improves mood because the chemicals in your brain are moving and interacting with the rest of your body

• Improves heart health because moving your body exercises your heart muscle

• Allows you to practice using your social skills appropriately (kindness, courtesy, self-advocacy, friendliness, having fun with friends)

• Allows you to practice personal and social responsibilities (personal space, spacial awareness, taking turns scanning cards, walking/running safely and appropriately, responding to teacher and peers respectfully and kindly, resolving conflicts peacefully, getting help when needed, practicing inclusion and courtesy)

•Teaches students about goal-setting and how to compete with themselves and with each other respectfully
