Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 277

On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, 3rd - 5th grade students have the opportunity to walk/jog/run in the morning for the HCE Morning Run Club. Students track their laps using the EZ Scan system, using their individual barcoded name tag. Students also, during their PE time once a week, have to opportunity to walk/jog/run and scan their badge to count their laps during that time, even if they cannot attend run club in the morning. 

 

The grant that was funded was able to purchase the lanyards to keep the students ID badges on, the "toe tokens" that students earn and are handed out at the end of the month for how many miles they have run during the previous month (1 token per mile run), and the "dog tags" which represent when a student has run a total of 26.2 miles, the length of a marathon, during that school year. 

 

I cannot express how excited the students are on a running club days, always letting me know that they are showing up the day before to get in their laps. We have been averaging over 32 students a morning, which is about 25% of our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders showing up to run. This not only encourages students to live a healthier lifestyle, but also helps them to burn some energy so they are better prepared for learning that day during the school hours.

 

Thank you again for your help in keeping our students healthy and active, both mentally and physically!

Original Grant Overview

Goal

To provide students a morning fitness opportunity to enable them to have a more clear and focused mind for the school day ahead and to allow our students an opportunity to participate in the "95210 Kids on the Go!" program.  

 

What will be done with my students

On Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays, students will be provided the opportunity to walk, jog, or run, around the field as they scan their barcode on the EZ Scan fitness app that keeps track of their laps. Every time students finish a mile (13 laps), they will receive "running bling", which recognizes how far they have run. After each 5 mile completion, they will receive a star, and after they finish 26 miles throughout the year, the approximate length of a marathon, they will receive a special running dog tag. These laps that are being tracked will also be would be used towards the "95210 Kids on the Go!" program.  

 

Benefits to my students

Providing a safe place for students to exercise before school is foundational to their learning. Having time in the morning to get out and move, will not only help them to live healthier lives, but focus and clear their minds for the school day so they can have a more productive time in the classroom.
