February Week 1:
Your kickoff assembly should occur sometime this week!
Get the kids pumped up to run!
February Week 2:
Students should be
registering at home and registering at school now that the introductory
letter has been sent home and the kickoff assembly has occurred. Keep
up with your spreadsheet of participants by adding kids who have
registered, noting whether you have received their registration or been
told that they have done it online, and noting if they have paid in the
“paid” column. Note their t-shirt size in the appropriate column. Give
each child a running log if they did not download one online.
Students need to start keeping track of their miles. This process will
need to be explained in detail during P.E. class or any other
appropriate time. Examples are helpful!
Each participant will send in
a WEEKLY MILEAGE UPDATE (WMU-AIU) each week to the school marathon
coordinator telling them how many outside of school miles they have
completed for that week and how many miles total they have on their
log. These will be due every Friday.
Every Tuesday, the school
marathon coordinator will send each participant an ADD IT UP (WMU-AIU)
sheet telling them how many miles they have from PE and from Walking
Club that week (if your school has these opportunities available to get
miles). This is not necessary if your students do not have the
opportunity to log miles at school.
The student is responsible for
adding the miles they've gotten in school to the mileage they have
gotten outside of school and logging this total on their Running Log.
The process then starts again. The student will send in a new Weekly
Mileage Update (due Friday) showing their total miles and the miles
they have added that week outside of school. There are a lot of good
math skills involved in this!
The coordinator needs to update their
spreadsheet each week with the child's total mileage up to that point.
Keeping track of mileage is a big job and may be handed off to another
faculty member or parent volunteer. Keeping track of mileage helps
keeps kids accountable as well as allows them to be recognized for
reaching milestones in their goal.
February Week 3 and 4:
Continue
collecting WMU's and sending out AIU's. Continue updating your
spreadsheet, collecting money and registrations, and adding miles to
the spreadsheet.
