WHAT IS THE MILER'S CLUB?
STUDENTS DO 1/8 MILE LAPS BY WALKING, JOGGING, OR RUNNING OR ANY
COMBINATION OF THE THREE. AFTER THE STUDENT COMPLETES 40 LAPS OR
FIVE MILES THEY RECEIVE A COLORED FOOT WHICH THEY CAN PUT ON THEIR
SHOE STRINGS, BRACELET, NECK CHAIN, KEY RING, ETC. WE WILL START
IN LATE SEPTEMBER, EARLY OCTOBER TWICE A WEEK TILL MAY.
WHY DOES MY CHILD HAVE COLORED MARKS ON THE BACK OF THEIR HAND?
EVERY TIME A STUDENT COMPLETES A LAP FOR THE MILER'S CLUB THEY
RECEIVE A MARK ON THE BACK OF THEIR HAND SO AT THE END OF THE
CLASS THE TEACHER CAN COUNT THEIR TOTAL LAPS. THE MARKS ARE
FROM WASHABLE MARKERS, SIMPLE SOAP AND WATER WILL REMOVE THEM IF
THEY DON'T SWEAT THEM OFF, WHICH DOES HAPPEN.
WHAT TYPE OF SHOES SHOULD MY CHILD WEAR TO P.E.?
ANY TYPE OF RUNNING OR WALKING SHOES. MAKE SURE STUDENTS WEAR
SOCKS TO PREVENT BLISTERS. BOOTS, CROCS, AND ANY TYPE OF OPEN
TOE OR OPEN HEEL SHOE SHOULD NOT USED FOR P.E., INJURY TO YOUNG
FEET MAY BE THE RESULT. PAGE 18 OF THE SCHOOL HANDBOOK #10:
"STUDENTS MAY NOT WEAR BOOTS OF ANY TYPE OR CROCS TO SCHOOL".
