Coalhurst High looking for a perfect ‘fit’ with community
COALHURST –– The community made it possible, so it’s only fitting Coalhurst High School is looking to return the favour.
Students and staff won’t be the only ones who will benefit from a recent community donation of fitness equipment to the Palliser school. Athletic director Dayna Craddock says plans call for parents and other Coalhurst residents to also enjoy the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
“To move and be active, we know how important that is for kids,” says Craddock, who is part of Palliser Regional Schools’ Health Champions program. “That doesn’t stop once you hit Grade 12, it continues on forever.”
The goal is for students and staff to access the equipment during the day, and then open it up to the community for evening fitness classes and the like.
