Sustainability and Wellness Fair, Saturday, May 22, 10-2

The Katonah-Lewisboro School District to Host
Third Annual Sustainability and Wellness Fair May 22, 2010

The Third Annual Katonah-Lewisboro School District Sustainability and Wellness Fair will be held, rain or shine, at the John Jay High School on Saturday, May 22, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For the first time, a free Run/Walk for Wellness will be held, with registration at 9:00 in the high school gym lobby, and the Run/Walk beginning at 9:30 a.m. in front of the high school gym. The John Jay Booster Club and district are sponsoring the choice of two courses: the first will be approximately a mile on pavement for families with strollers, and the other will be about 2.5 miles, including both a paved and unpaved route.

The Fair is a celebration of the community commitment to promote health, wellness and sustainability, which the district promotes through policies, curriculum connections, and partnerships. A fun and interesting day is planned, with exhibits and events designed to appeal to every member of the family.

• Run/Walk for Wellness, sponsored by KLSD/John Jay Booster Club (9:30 AM)
