Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 19

The CCPS 5k event was a great time for students and staff to connect outside of school in a healthy and active way. Not only did each student get paired up with another student and teacher to run with, but it was exciting to see their families there along the race path cheering them on. Only a few have ever run a race of that length, or any race at all, so seeing them being encouraged along the path, and reach the end of the race to receive their medal, was a great memory for them and everyone else that was there. Thank you so much for allowing these memories to be made and making this great school experience available for students that might not otherwise be able to participate in it.

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 $30 for the adult sign up cost. Two students will run with a teacher partner for safety during the race.
