Check out this article about a North Carolina elementary school that is getting their students moving to raise money for their school. The Hendersonville Elementary School PTO put together a fundraiser called "Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds: Move Across America."

How does it work? Kids choose different ways to exercise and each way has mile equivalent associated with it. Then the kids log their exercise and total up the miles. The goal of the school is to exercise for 24,902 miles. That's the distance around the earth! Wow!

What a great way to inspire healthy habits, sharpen math skills, and build community at the same time!
