Longview ISD is committed to promoting the health and wellness of its employees, and the Lobo Health & Wellness 5K Spring Fun Run is just one of the many ways the district is encouraging staff to prioritize their physical and mental well-being.
“We are thrilled to offer this fun and interactive opportunity for our employees to improve their health and wellness,” said Dr. Wayne Guidry, LISD Assistant Superintendent. “We hope that this event will inspire our staff to make regular physical activity a priority, not only for the health benefits, but also for the fun and camaraderie it brings.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, regular physical activity can help prevent chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Additionally, exercise has been shown to improve mental health and overall well-being.
