Health & Wellness
Research has illustrated time and again that good cardiovascular health strongly correlates to improved performance in math, reading, and other subjects, and that having sound nutrition enables students to concentrate better and learn more.
Clayton supports student health in many ways including:
- Clayton's annual FUN RUN! held in the fall, this event is an opportunity for students to exercise and fundraise for school activities!
- Jump rope for Heart - held in the spring, this event is organized by Mrs Damjanovich giving students an opportunity to learn about and implement heart healthy activities
- Cardio Drumming - an educational unit combining musical rhythm elements and choreographed physical movements!
- Health Night - Held in the Spring, this event invites parents and families to visit Clayton and experience healthy activities like the smoothie bike, yoga, and much more!
