Stockbridge, NY - Students, teachers, and administrators from Stockbridge Valley Central School went outside in the brisk morning air to kick off their own Monday Mile.

The Monday Mile is a new initiative of the Live Well Madison County Committee, which is supported by the Madison County Rural Health Council.
