Fort Plain Pacers walking program   

        The Pacers program began in 2007 as a year-round way for Fort Plain area people to improve their health by incorporating walking into their daily lives. During the school year, the Pacers walk from 5:30 to 7 a.m. and 4-7 p.m. in the hallways of Harry Hoag Elementary School. In warm weather the Pacers use the Canalway trail.

      The Pacers program began its fall session on Nov. 16 with about 30 participants. MVP Health educator Kristine Lindahl made a presentation and conducted a stretching routine. She will come to the Pacers program about once a month to walk and conduct special events. MVP Healthcare is a co-sponsor of the Pacers program this year.

      Anyone interested in joining the Pacers should come to the school anytime the Pacers are walking. - For more information, contact Superintendent of Schools Douglas Burton at (518) 993-4000, or Sue Manclow, Pacers Kiosk Staff Member (518) 993-2800.
