Miles and Minutes Monday!
Keep Entering Those Practice Times!
We're still in the lead--but only because you kept logging!
Keep it going, DAWGS! LOG YOUR MINUTES . . .
. . . and help Aquin win $2000--TODAY IS THE DAY!
Fall Sports Practices, Dancing with Joy Because the Kids are Heading Back to School . . . IT ALL COUNTS!!!
PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR STUDENT ATHLETES
AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE LOGGING THEIR TIMES!
It all counts . . . but only if it is logged in their Miles and Minutes account.
WE'RE IN 1ST PLACE FOR OVERALL MINUTES, 6TH PLACE FOR 'MINUTES PER PARTICIPANT'.
ENTER ALL OF YOUR ACTIVE MINUTES SINCE JULY 30!
(If you don't know what 'Miles and Minutes' is click here
for an explanation of what it is and how it works.)
We know that many of you are busy
and don't have time to enter your minutes every day.
Start your week off by entering all of your minutes from the past week
(or 2 weeks if you haven't started yet). It will only take about 5 minutes
--plus it will give you a great review of all you accomplished in the past week--
and give you incentive to start this week off on the right foot!
Please let your family and friends from across the country (or the world)
know that they can log their active minutes for Aquin and help us from anywhere!
That's right, you can still sign up for FHN's Miles And Minutes program without having missed logging any of your minutes!
Register online at www.fhn.org/milesandminutes. All of the rules of the competition are there, as well as information about how miles and minutes will be calculated to determine the winning school systems.
A calculator on the website automatically converts minutes of almost any type of physical activity into miles, and prizes will be awarded in miles in two categories:
- School system with the most average "miles" logged per participant
- School system with the most "miles" total
Miles are normalized based on number of students to help ensure that all schools have an equal chance to win. First prize for each category is $2,000, second prize is $1,000, and third prize is $500! Prize money will be awarded in September.
- For FitBit or other step-counting programs, please use the following conversion: 1 mile or 2,500 steps converts to 30 minutes of Walking/Stroll.
Competition began Monday, May 28 and runs through Sunday, September 2. Participants (must be age 12 and above) can support any local school system, and running totals will always be on the website as well as reported through the media.
New for 2018--Everyone's Got a Chance!
Schools not winning in one of the two main categories are eligible to win in the following categories:
Family Activities:
- FHN promotes healthy families and this year they have added 'Family Activities'--biking, running and walking.
- If an adult and at least one child participate in one of these activities, your school will earn double points!
- The school system with the highest amount of family activity miles will win $500.
Eligible school systems will be entered into a random drawing for cash prizes:
- First place - $500
- Second place - $300
- Third place - $200.
