Students from Goessel Elementary School spent the 2007-08 school year walking.

In the interest of encouraging healthy lifestyle and habits, John Fast, GES principal, offered an optional walking program for students in grades kindergarten through five, giving students a chance to earn a charm bracelet.

The walking was done at the noon recess time, but did not take the place of recess and was not required. Students participated, but still had time to play.
