Appleton Educators Participate in Half Marathon
Educators from the Appleton Area School District participated in the Fox Cities Half Marathon September 21 in Menasha. The activity was made possible through the Appleton Area School District's YMCA Lifestyle Enhancement Program.
The educators' fete was featured in an Appleton Post-Crescent column by Kathy Walsh Nufer, who interviewed the educators' coach Sue Stenz. She agreed to train fellow staff at the suggestion of Etta Hensler, a retired teacher who runs the district's wellness program in conjunction with the YMCA of the Fox Cities. Stenz, a Highlands Elementary School early childhood special education teacher and part-time fitness instructor, said the participants trained since June 1, averaging 25 to 30 miles per week.
"We've walked everywhere and seen the whole city of Appleton," she said.
