There is an early morning activity that students at St. Paul’s can participate in, where they walk laps around the gym. Showing up no sooner than 7 AM the gym is open and there is an adult waiting to supervise the students walking. The incentive for all this walking, for the students, is earning prizes and Eddy has earned his first prize. The foot in the picture is awarded when a student completely fills in all the feet on a card. The card has 20 feet to fill in on each side and it takes 5 laps in order to fill in one foot.

This program goes on all year, so there is no telling how many feet Eddy will end up with on his necklace by the end of the year. He has not missed a day yet, and usually sets his alarm and wakes up before I do. He has friends who have been in this program for years and they have many feet. We are all very proud of Eddy for waking up early and getting some exercise before school.
