MORNING MILE GUIDELINES:

  • Students will complete as many laps as they are comfortable with between 7:30 AM and 7:50 AM. Each day, the number of laps completed that morning will be recorded and transferred to an accumulating database. 8 laps equal 1 mile.

  • When the student reaches a total of 5 miles, he or she will receive one colorful sneaker charm. They will continue to receive one sneaker charm for each 5 miles completed. Students will also receive a certificate for 25, 50, 75, and 100 miles. Students receive a special prize after completing 50, 100 and 150 miles.

  • Students who are currently on campus prior to the first bell will be encouraged to participate.

  • Attend as many days as you like… there is NO minimum required.

  • We encourage a 7:30 AM start, but if you have time to complete one lap, you can join in anytime you arrive.

  • There is NO minimum lap count required. Even the youngest students can accomplish great things a single lap at a time.

  • Weather restriction: The Morning Mile will NOT take place in inclement weather, or cold mornings (below 50 degrees).
