librarymom-- we're hoping to use the results in some outreach we're doing this fall.
Tim,
My plan is to have the PE teacher involved and some real enthusiatic parents to help set up a mile course around the school. These fun runs would take place on a Friday after school and they would start out on the field. Each grade would have a volunteer with a clip board that has the list of students where they check-in. The K-2nd grades will start first and only run 1/2 mile course. Volunteers will be sprinkled through out the course to cheer on the kids and any parents or siblings that would like to run also. At the end of the course will be 2 volunteers calling out times as the stundent cross the finish line. At the end of the eight weeks each student that participated in 5 or more fun runs will get a prize (still working on that one) and a printed sheet of the progress they made over the eight weeks. I am hoping this works and we can work out any kinks that come along the way. The goal is to promote physical activity and community.
