Show us what being healthy means to you! Send us your videos describing or demonstrating what health & wellness mean to you. You could tell us why it's important to eat healthy or be physically active - whatever you think it means to be healthy! The winning video will be selected by the Walk Directors. The grand prize winner will win an iPOD and have their photo taken for distribution in PTA newsletters and maybe in our local newspaper!

    Use your imagination, use your humor...use your parent's iPhone!
