For the past 18 years, Moore Elementary has taken 4th graders on a 28-mile hike up the Natchez Trace and back. They did this in two days, spending the night back at the school. Sam did it earlier this month. To condition themselves for this long trek, the kids stayed after school and walked, and walked, and walked, and walked every day for the preceeding 8 weeks. What a great way for the school leaders to encourage health and wellness, exercise and dedication with these students!
They saw deer, snakes, lots of different insects and spiders, worms, and other fun nature!

The kids were treated to a heroes' welcome when they arrived back at the school. The whole student body made a path for them, and they were welcomed back from this LOOOOONG walk with cheers, banners, applause and refreshments!
