DeepStore and Compass Minerals are proud to support local schools and community initiatives that promote education, wellbeing and healthy lifestyles. As part of this commitment, we recently donated pedometers to pupils at St Michael’s Community Academy, helping bring physical activity and learning together in an engaging way.
The pedometers were used during the school’s Wellbeing Day on 5 October, where Year 2 pupils explored the importance of staying active and maintaining healthy lifestyles. Throughout the day, the children tracked their daily step counts, compared results with classmates and encouraged one another to achieve their goals.
A spokesperson from St Michael’s Community Academy said:
“Thank you to Compass Minerals and DeepStore for kindly donating pedometers to St Michael’s Community Academy. During our Wellbeing Day, the Year 2 children learnt about being physically active and loved counting their steps. The children were incredibly enthusiastic, comparing their steps and motivating each other as they worked towards their daily step goal. The pedometers also gave Year 2 a fantastic opportunity to practise recognising 3 and 4 digit numbers. Our whole school community is really looking forward to using these pedometers in science and maths to complete experiments and gather data.”
At DeepStore, we believe that supporting education and wellbeing helps create positive opportunities for young people and strengthens the communities around us. We are proud to support initiatives that inspire learning while encouraging healthy lifestyles.
