Good News for Bell at the Ottawa Race Weekend
Bell HS students volunteered to work the finish line for the 2K, 5K, 10K, kid's marathon, half-marathon, and full marathon. Over 130 Bell students had fun and earned community service hours while handing out medals to over 37,000 runners.
Congratulations to Sam Klus, a grade 9 Bell HS student, winner of her age group in the 5K run.
OFSAA Yoga at Bell
Thanks to funding from Ontario Federation School Athletic Association, the Healthy Active Living department was able to enhance learning opportunities for Bell HS students. With the help of yoga instructor Tony Picard, was able run two full days of yoga workshops for over 230 students.
Fitness classes, physical education classes and dance classes all enjoyed a tough physical workout combined relaxation techniques.
Yoga is a timely activity to introduce as students head into the stressful period of exams. Yoga proved to be a very popular activity with Bell students and with this in mind, we hope to integrate more yoga into the fitness curriculum next year.
