MILEAGE CLUB

What is it?

The mileage club is a fitness program that assists students in the development of positive fitness habits beyond the physical education class.

How does it work?

Students earn rewards (sneakers) for preparedness and participation in physical education class, participation in after school physical activity programs, mileage performance during recess and improved Project Fit America fitness scores.

Reward System

All students start with one chain and one large sneaker
Prepared with sneakers for each class = 1 small sneaker per marking period
Participate in an after school physical activity = 1 small sneaker per program
Demonstrate improved fitness scores during the post-test phase of Project Fit America = 1 small sneaker per improved post-test
Perform 10 miles (grades 1-3) = 1 small sneaker
Perform 20 miles (grades 4-6) = 1 small sneaker
Perform 25 miles (all grades) = 3 small sneakers
Trade 5 small sneakers in for 1 large sneaker

Monitoring and Recording Recess Mileage Performance

Recess aides will monitor and record grades 1-4 during recess twice a week. Select 5th and 6th grade students to monitor and record grades 5 and 6 during recess twice a week.
