Lincolnton middle school students have stayed connected by getting out from behind the computer screen and getting moving.  Students are teaming up with their homerooms and logging the miles they walk or run at home.  Those miles are then tracked on the North Carolina state map that is displayed in the building.  

Mr. Bealer told the Lincoln Times, “We can’t have any student life events this year because of COVID,”... “When all of our students were online, we felt disconnected from them and they felt disconnected from the school. We wanted to do something that could be done wherever you’re at. A lot of our staff have been participating in virtual 5K and things like that and it was like a bond for them.”

Thank you to Michelle Bernard of the Lincoln Times for covering the story!
