Running Club Updates
Running Club Updates:
13, 240 Total Miles
67.5 overall participation rate (not daily)
We "ran to" Hong Kong.
Due to all of the rainy days we have lowered the mileage requirement for the field trip to 125 miles. The field trip will be on June 2nd and we will be going to Rockin' Jump. Please encourage students to keep running to meet their goals.
Remember, if you lose your scan card, you can get a replacement card on Mondays. In the meantime, you can still join us for running club.
Running Club REWARDS and eligibility based on achieving certain mileage milestones.
Each student is eligible to receive the following rewards based on their tracked mileage milestones – (another reason to remember their badge every day):
Running club volunteers will distribute the rewards to the teachers to distribute to their students, except for popsicles *.
- 1 Foot Charm and popsicle = 10 miles
- Ribbon = 25 miles
- Marathon Medal = 26.2 miles
- Ribbons for each mileage milestone = 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175 & beyond miles
- Off-Site Field Trip June 2023 (location TBA) = 150+ miles by 5/25/23
- Participation Certificates = all students that ran any mileage will be awarded a certificate
*Popsicles will be distributed on the last Friday of each month, starting Sept. 30, 2022, to all qualifying students. A Running Club Volunteer will set up a table by the flag poles to pass out popsicles 10 minutes before the bell rings. The cut-off for the accumulation of miles that will earn the students a popsicle will be the Friday before the last Friday of the month. Running Club Volunteers will place a not in the teacher's mailboxes to alert them of those students that achieved the popsicle milestone. If a student is absent on the Friday the popsicles are handed out, they will miss it, there will be no make-ups.
