Step Into Wellness with Pedometers!

April is Move More Month, recognized by the American Heart Association, and students across Bellwood School District 88 are stepping into wellness—literally!

Each student will receive a pedometer in their HOUSE COLOR to track daily steps, encourage healthy habits, and take part in fun, school-wide movement opportunities. These simple trackers make staying active easy—both at school and at home.

Getting Started is Easy:

  • Press the reset button each morning to begin tracking steps
  • Clip the pedometer to a waistband, pocket, or backpack
  • Check progress throughout the day—every step counts!

Families, here’s how you can support your child:

  • Encourage wearing the pedometer daily
  • Take short walks together or add active time to your routine
  • Celebrate progress and milestones along the way

This initiative supports the whole child by promoting physical wellness, focus, and school pride through simple, meaningful movement.

Let’s make April a month of energy, movement, and healthy habits—together.
