CATALINA FOOTHILLS SCHOOL DISTRICT

Sunrise Steppers is a program that encourages Sunrise students and staff to get out and walk or run together for exercise and for fun. Available at lunch recess once each week during the cooler months of the year, children are given index cards that are punched every time they do a lap on the field, and when they've accumulated enough laps to equal a mile, they receive a sneaker token for their tennis shoes. This program has grown in popularity because of the enthusiasm and support of staff and parent volunteers (and a little friendly competition between grades as to which one will finish with the most miles), and Sunrise is proud to see the excitement in the children for getting out to walk or run with their friends!
