Trekking Across America for Fitness

With obesity rates on the rise in the United States, Cate Dill, a physical education teacher from Sudbury, MA is on a mission to make our country a 'Healthy' Nation again. In February, Dill began bicycling, running, snowshoeing, hiking, rollerblading and cross- country skiing from Santa Barbara, CA to Boston, MA. Her goal is to inspire others to exercise with her.

On Thursday, March 24 at 2 p.m., Dill will be in Colorado and speak with students at Aurora Central High School and Aurora West College Preparatory Academy to promote her Healthy Nation campaign.

Students at Aurora Central and West are already tuned into fitness. Last year, Aurora Central’s physical education teacher, Clay Ellis, was named the National Physical Education Teacher of the Year.

AWCPA physical education teacher Andi McCarthy was recently named the Central District Middle School Physical Education Teacher of the Year. The Central District represents a nine-state area from Colorado to Minnesota.
