Fit Kids-Step Ahead–Mileage Club

We are excited to share with you a fitness opportunity being offered this fall for all students in grades K – 6. The Fit Kids-Step Ahead-Mileage Club is a before school program that is committed to encouraging physical fitness among elementary age children. During this six-week program students will track their mileage earned. Students will participate in power walking, jogging, running and other fitness activities that will get their bodies moving and brains wired for learning during the first leg of the school year! Students may participate in as many sessions as they would like. As the students accumulate their mileage they will be rewarded with shirts, toe tokens, certificates, pencils, wristbands, cups, and water bottles. The more they move the more prizes they will earn.

The Fit Kids-Step Ahead-Mileage Club will be offered two days a week in the North Gym from 7:25-7:55 a.m. by the MAES PE staff: Mr. Jipson, Mrs. Stahman and Mrs. Winkelman. Students should be dressed for physical activity, wearing tennis shoes and appropriate clothing for morning weather conditions. Activities will be held outdoors. In the event of bad weather, we will remain in the North Gym. Following the activity session students will be dismissed at 7:55 to follow their regular breakfast routine. The Fit Kids-Step Ahead-Mileage Club is free for all students. The Fit Kids-Step Ahead program is offered through SHIP grant funding and support from Stevens Community Medical Center. Fit Kids will continue in the spring. A schedule of the fall dates is attached. If you have questions you may call, email, or check our websites for more information.

Families are welcome and encouraged to join in the fun!
