Success Story
Oakvale implemented a healthy month called March Mathness. This is a school-wide activity held every Friday in March where they compete in math relay races.
Each primary class teams up with an intermediate class. Students cheer for their partners and paired classes when the relays begin. Students complete some type of physical challenge down the court, answer a math problem and race back. The number of correct math problems is how many baskets each class gets to shoot. Students win basketballs for winning the game, the math challenge, best cheering squad, and a math problem of the week. At the end of the month, the overall winner is the class who obtained the most basketballs.
