Saluda School’s third, fourth and fifth grade students recently finished a 50-day Global Children’s Challenge sponsored by the Global Corporate Challenge.

Global Corporate Challenge provided each student with a free pedometer and access to a web page for each class. Student recorded their steps online each day. The steps that students recorded online took their class on a virtual tour around the world.

Third grader Sydney Housinger received a special award for having her pedometer all 50 days.

Third-grader Beatriz Cera-Gonzalez had her pedometer 49 of the 50 days and had the highest average number of steps: 14,913 daily. Jhoana Cera-Gonzalez, Trey Stanley, Grayson Edney, Cecelia Thompson, Tori Strickland, Wylie Rauschenbach and Julia Gillespie also received awards for having their pedometers more that 42 days out of 50.
