Gladbrook Elementary (K-2) and Gladbrook-Reinbeck Middle School (5-8) students walked for “Go the Distance Day” on Wednesday morning, May 2, which is a one day event encouraging Iowa schools to engage students in 30 minutes of continuous activity.

This is an event encouraged by the Iowa Sports Foundation and Live Healthy Iowa so that our kids can develop and maintain an active, healthy lifestyle. These two foundations proudly support the Healthiest State Initiative, as we work toward the common goal of making Iowa the healthiest state in the nation.

Our local Hometown Foods donated water for the students and staff participating in this activity. Mike Wright, Tama County Deputy Sheriff, escorted the students on their walk.
