Pat Henry students commit to walk for health | The Lawton Constitution

Pat Henry Elementary School students have been participating in a monthly walk-to-school program in conjunction with a program created through the efforts of Lawton Public Schools, the Lawton Police Department and Comanche County Memorial Hospital.

Nancy Lombardo, public information officer for the Lawton Police Department, said Pat Henry counselor Marty McKelvey incorporated the idea of making the walk like a “scavenger hunt” with clues the kids would have to solve to find where in the neighborhood he would be meeting them. Sandy Foster of Comanche County Memorial Hospital’s Healthy Living Program thought it would a great thing to promote for her Healthy Living Program by encouraging students to get more exercise by walking to school.

Memorial was awarded a TSET Healthy Living Program grant.
