“We’re hoping this is a really nice way to get the Power Moves’ name out there on the Paly campus, so more kids want to join us on the track,” Filppu said. “Regardless of fundraising, just to walk on Mondays at 8 and chill out without competition. It’s a great way to get people more aware of Power Moves.”](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/walkers-900x612.jpg)

It’s a good way to get energy to get through the week, especially on Mondays with the busy [school] schedule.” (Photo: Kristine Lin)](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/P1020804-900x506.jpg)
