On Wednesday, OHS is joining the 10th Annual Healthiest State Walk to show the value of physical, social, and emotional health.

OHS physical education instructor, Joss Teed, plans to take his classes outside and walk one or two laps around OHS. He is encouraging other staff to participate during fourth period as well. 

Ottumwa is one of five communities recently selected to be a part of the Healthiest State's 5-2-1-0 initiative to promote healthy habits, including physical activity, reduced screen time, consumption of fruits and vegetables, and eliminating sugary drinks. Watch for more details to come regarding how this will be implemented in Ottumwa.
