Fitness is important at Blanchard Elementary. Every morning these students start their day with a dance class in the school gym. It's excerise they look forward to doing.

Before these students are allowed to play at recess they must walk or jog half a mile on the track.
The initative is all part of a "Wings to Wellness Program" going on at all Caddo Parish schools.

The ultimate goal is to get students and employees healthy while having a good time.
School officials are hoping this program will help combat childhood obesity at a young age.
