Physical Activity Participation

On National Walk to School Day, Hermes students were invited to celebrate fitness all day long. During an hour-long session, grade level teams would participate in our 100 Mile Club jogging path. For an hour, students were able to walk, jog, or run as many laps as they could. Every time a student finished a mile, they were given a special toe token prize to add to their collection. Some students were able to run six miles during the hour-long event! Students, staff, and family members all enjoyed a chance to focus on and celebrate fitness!

How do you plan to make this Play last during the school year and beyond?

Students loved the idea of 100 Mile Club. As a school, we are looking into ways of having the club open during lunch recess.
