The McMillin Running Club will be starting this Monday, August 7th. This year it is our goal to run 20,000 miles as a school or enough miles to run around the world. Last year, our students ran a combined 983 miles in just two months and this year we want to shatter that mark and reach a goal of around 20,000 miles.
Each morning 1st-6th graders will have the opportunity to run laps on the grass in the back of the school, weather permitting. Each student will receive a laminated running club card from their teacher that will be scanned after each lap that they run. Students should keep these cards in their backpacks so that they can grab them each morning before running. Students and families can track our miles on this site https://mcmillin.active4.me/ and we will also plot our journey on the Running Club bulletin board located in our school library. Students will also receive feet for their keychains when they personally reach 5 miles, 10 miles, 20, 30, 40…
Please encourage your child to run or walk every morning to promote a healthy start of the day and to help us run around the world!
