Mileage Club

Adobe Bluffs Mileage Club

HAVING FUN…FEELING GOOD!

Mileage Club, held at lunch recess on Mon/Wed/Fri, has a number of great benefits and we are looking for 100% participation from our students. Running is not mandatory. Kids can walk, skip, hop or jump! It’s not required EVERYDAY. Just pick one or two or three days a week and kids, teachers and parents will reap the rewards! Walking/Running helps develop fitness while building muscles, burning calories, reducing stress and creating good lifelong habits.

PARENTS… Why support Mileage Club?

· Channels kids’ energy in a positive manner

· Proves that exercise is fun AND rewarding

· Aerobic activity enhances learning readiness and self esteem, two key elements in academic achievement

· Teaches responsibility, mathematics and record-keeping skills

· Children learn how to set goals and evaluate personal achievement

· Encourages the importance of being physically fit

VOLUNTEERS…Encouraged & Needed!

Family volunteers help keep this program going effectively. This opportunity is a quick and fun way for you to see your kids in action during recess. You don't have to come every day, or even every week. If you have some availability in your schedule and would like to help keep this program running, please email Kristine Brownlee at kristinebrownlee@hotmail.com.
