Kearsarge Regional High School students worked on a mapping project: Alegebra 1 students learned how to calculate the distance of their school hallways and created maps with distance and steps.

They will also include pictures of common foods served in the cafeteria and how many laps you'd have to take around the building

to burn the equivalent number of calories. They are taking their newfound mapping skills "on the road" this fall to create walking

routes in other organizations.
