Cold Water Elementary staff and 15 students helped to build Bear Trail last summer. Bear Trail is an outdoor wood chipped fitness trail at the school. Outdoor equipment including a sit-up bench, a back extension machine, push-up bars and a vertical jump trainer will soon be installed along the trail. Principal Dr. Christa Warner regularly jogs with more than 75 students in the Mileage Club.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are excited to have earned the title of being a Character Fitness Model School,\u201d said Warner. \u201cOur goal is to educate the whole child. Having a healthy body and good character is just as important as academics as we prepare our students for life.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Character Plus, Cold Water Elementary School excelled in involving all students and encouraging volunteerism, commitment, individual goal setting and student leadership.<\/p>\n
