Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 20

This grant was able to fund 20 students to run in the CCPS 5k, as well as bring 10 teachers to run with the students and provide transportation to and from the race. It was great to see the students that had participated in the HCE Morning Run Club get the opportunity to “race” against other members of the CCPS community around the CCPS Admin building and surrounding area. The students loved going on the bus, which is a big deal as our school doesn’t provide busses on a daily basis due to the close proximity of the student’s homes, and seeing all the runners in the event. While runners were given the option of doing the 1 mile walk, all of our runners choose the 5k run, which was great to see their enthusiasm for running and wanting to get out and lead a healthy and active lifestyle. The weather was great and it was a definitely an event that we will plan for and participate in again next year. Thank you so much.

Original Grant Overview

Goal

To provide students an opportunity to participate in a 5k race which will promote a positive way to live a active and healthy lifestyle. The students will be running in the CCPS 5k Race which is typically held in November or December.

What will be done with my students

20 students will have the opportunity to have their students registration fee paid for and have transportation from Herbert Cambridge to the CCPS 5k race at the Administration Building. These students will be chosen from the group of 3rd/4th/5th grade students that participate in the HCE Morning Run Club and that reach a certain goal to show their commitment and interest in walk/jog/running in the morning. There will also be a teacher from the school that will be paired up with two students to help encourage them and keep them safe throughout the 5k event.

Benefits to my students

It is a great event to have students pair up with their teachers at school and find a common interest in something that they would not typically be able to do. It also demonstrates a way to live a healthy and active lifestyle in a safe and fun way, as well as see others that enjoy that lifestyle too. Being able to open up different opportunities for our students to experience events that they may not have been exposed to before is a great way to enrich their mental and physical well-being.

Budget Narrative

There will be an opportunity for 20 students to go at the student cost of $15 each and each of those students will be paired with a teacher to run with at the cost of $25 for the adult sign up cost. 2 students will run with 1 teacher.
