Students, staff, and families at George McVey Elementary School in East Meadow came together on Oct. 22 to participate in the school’s annual Wellness Walk, an event dedicated to promoting health, fitness, and positive decision-making.
Held in conjunction with Red Ribbon Week, the Wellness Walk encouraged students in every grade to get active by walking, jogging, or running laps around the school grounds. The event emphasized the importance of physical wellness and making healthy lifestyle choices — key themes that align with the goals of Red Ribbon Week.
Throughout the event, Principal Ms. Kerry Anne Dunne and Assistant Principal Mr. Leonard Minerva joined staff members in cheering on students as they completed their laps, helping to create a spirited and supportive atmosphere. Parents also participated by walking alongside their children and encouraging them to stay active.
The annual Wellness Walk continues to highlight McVey’s commitment to fostering healthy habits, teamwork, and community engagement. The school looks forward to continuing this tradition in the years to come as part of its ongoing dedication to student well-being.
