Sunset Lake Elementary Mile Club ~ "Where Kids GET FIT!!!"
Mile Club at Sunset Lake began in 2008-2009 school year and continues to be a very strong program 9 years later in 2017. Knowing what an amazing program this is and the impact on students for a lifetime, made bringing this great program to Sunset Lake a "no brainer!" Students sign up, turn in a permission slip and run one mile every week around the track during their recess time. Motivational toe tokens are handed out after each student completes four laps around the track. By the end of the school year if students maintain a commitment to the program most often they end up with 26-27 toe tokens. (So after the course of a year, they will have run a marathon!) It is not mandatory that they run every week if they join the club, but their personal mileage is kept in their desks on a "tracker card" as well as magnets that are in the lobby to keep track of miles ran. Students are encouraged to walk/run at least 4 laps every Wednesday! It is amazing how one small little token can motivate these students to run and give up their own recess time for this club! Many students have fitness goals to run and maintain a steady pace without walking while doing the Mile Club! It is an amazing thing!
Parents/ Grandparents are invited to come join in the exercise every week during school with their student. Please however check into the office before coming out to join in the fun. We want to keep all our kids safe here at Sunset Lake!
This year because of the changes in my PE schedule I am not always able to be out during the Mile Club and therefore I'd like to introduce you to the Coaches who have agreed to be there for the runners on a weekly basis. They are, Julie Gless, Adrian McClelland, and Avril Leach. These coaches are doing a great job encouraging runners to keep going and keep working! They are all very dedicated runners themselves, they all love kids and love to encourage running! I couldn't do it without them helping me every week!
