Parents and Students, Marathon Kids is BACK! After a one year layoff, we are bringing back Marathon Kids. I am truly excited about this opportunity and I know our kids will be, as well. If you don't know what marathon kids is, then let me tell you. It is a program used to get students moving, not just in P.E. class, but at home as well! The student tries to accumulate a total of 26.2 miles( a full marathon) of walking/jogging, over the course of about 6 months, in increments of 1/4 or 1/2 mile at a time. We will be sending home everything you need through Tuesday Folders. There is a a registration form that MUST be filled out in order for your child to be allowed to participate. There is also a mileage log so that you and your student can fill out their mileage each time they participate in an activity. They don't just have to go outside and start running, either. If they participate in an after school activity that involves physical activity (i.e. soccer, swimming, gymnastics, etc) they can mark it down on the mileage log. This does NOT include things such as bike-riding or skating. This can be done at school and at home. If you have any other questions, there is a parent information letter coming home. If that does not answer your question, please feel free to contact me. The forms need to be turned in by Thursday, October 1, 2009.
