The Be Well Woburn team has come up with a novel idea to get dads and children in kindergarten through grade 5 to spend time together and do something physical, nutritious and fun.
Woburn’s version of the Amazing Race—The Amazing Wellness Race—is the brainchild ofGary Reese, assistant school superintendent for curriculum and assessment.
People travel around the world to try new things, Reese explained Monday. The Be Well team wants people—especially kids—to try new things, Reese said, both activities and foods.
So teams of participants will get to visit seven continents and either try a food or activity from that continent, Reese explained.
Visitors to Antarctica, for example, will get the chance to try salmon, which, Reese said, many children have never sampled. If they like it, they can get a salmon recipe to take home.
