Full Marathon

Kids Marathon presented by The Oklahoman

The Character Course:

Set up a replica of a marathon course in your gym. Each mile marker on the 26.1 mile course will be marked with a list of names of students who have completed that many miles in their training. Mile markers will be in five mile increments. These lists will be updated weekly so students can monitor their progress in achieving their goal.

Also along the Character Course will be reminders of your school’s character building goals. These goals can be compiled from Terrific Kid goals, school moto goals, and/or the theme words for each day of the Week of Hope. It can be entitled “Dragons On The Move Toward” being our very best! (Substitute your school mascot for “dragons”). Space will be provided on the Character Course for students to put sticky note messages up about when they have noticed other students or teachers demonstrating one of your character building traits.

Each week at your all school assembly, a teacher (for example, the POC) will announce how many miles each student has towards their 25 mile goal. Also, one student who has put a sticky note message on the Character Course will be chosen to share that message aloud on stage.
