Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 150

The HCE Morning Run Club has become a staple at our school, allowing any 3^rd/4^th/5^th grade student to come out in the morning on Monday/Wednesday/Friday to get in some exercise with their friends before the school day starts. The students have been super excited to collect their “running bling” for each mile they complete in a month, which is funded through Champions For Learning generous support. Students that also complete 26.2 miles, a marathon, before the end of March will also get to participate in the Final Mile Run which motivates students to push each other to keep running and be healthy. Thank you so much for your support!

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.
