The Burris Owl walk took place April 22 at the Quad. The whole school met in the quad around one to start the annual Burris Owl Walk. This year the walk was to raised to help support the Library.
The library is in need of new materials. The money raised from the Owl Walk will allow for the library to buy new books and materials that they are in need of. In order to motivate the school the class that raised the most money is going to be awarded a pizza party. Also the person from each the elementary, middle and high school will be given a Books A Million gift card.
The Owl Walk was mandatory for the whole school. The high school students were paired up with elementary or middle school students. The younger students became their “buddy” for the hour. The walk began with Zumba. Zumba is a dance type exercise. The elementary students had been taught the zumba dance in gym class. “It was fun but I did not know what was going on during Zumba,” said Burris senior Katie Hawkins.
The younger kids led the high school kids around to do a number of physical activities. Some of these activities included hurdles, jump rope and racing around cones.
After these activities everyone walked together around the quad and through Christy Woods.
