We had a rootin’ tootin’ good time welcoming Cowboy Ted to Malad Elementary! He shared his 8 Steps to Health and Happiness, encouraging students to make healthy choices and live happy, active lives.
Cowboy Ted’s 8 Steps to Health and Happiness:
Respect yourself and others.
Lead a healthy lifestyle.
Work hard in school.
Be nice to others.
Set goals for yourself.
Be kind to animals.
No drugs, alcohol, or tobacco.
Do one nice thing for another person every day.
One of Cowboy Ted’s biggest messages was to never give up! He reminded students that when working toward a goal, we should keep trying “as many times as it takes” to accomplish it. Whether learning something new or overcoming a challenge, persistence and a positive attitude can make all the difference!
Students even had the exciting opportunity to practice their cowboy skills by roping a bull! We were lucky enough to watch some of our teachers give it a try, too! There were plenty of smiles and cheers as everyone practiced their roping skills and learned the importance of not giving up.
Cowboy Ted also sent everyone home with a pamphlet and a signed picture of himself riding a bull.
The fun isn’t over yet! Cowboy Ted will be returning to Malad Elementary so every student has the opportunity to try roping the bull during their PE time!
A big thank-you to Cowboy Ted for visiting our school and reminding us to stay happy, healthy, and keep trying as many times as it takes! 🤠
