Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 270

We have been lucky enough to have about 10% of our whole school coming out in the mornings on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to walk/jog/run. This allows students to get in some great exerciese and get their mind and body right for the school day ahead. Even the students that aren't able to come out in the morning, due to other conflicts, are able to log miles during PE class once a week to increase their miles run and be apart of the fun. Students love the fact that they get credit at the end of each month with a "toe token" that can go on their necklace that holds their ID Badge. As of January 13th, as a school at Herbert Cambridge, our students have logged a total of 1131.44 miles, and we are hoping to complete 2000 by the end of the year! Some of those students were also able to take part in the CCPS 5k and had a great time running with their friends and teachers! Thank you so much again for supporting our students in finding safe ways to stay active and healthy.

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 Marathon Kids 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.
