The Clarke and Diamond PE & Health departments wants everyone in the community to be active and stay healthy. This challenge promotes a healthy body and a healthy mind. We are challenging the middle school students, their families, and even the teachers to practice a healthy lifestyle. Here's how it works.

There is roughly 24,901 miles around the world. Every 10 minutes of exercise you do adds 1 mile to our challenge! Any form of exercise or wellness counts towards the challenge. This means you can go running, biking, hiking, play basketball, do yoga or pilates, online sports classes, conditioning, strength training, mindfulness exercises, ANYTHING! The time and miles accumulate over time. For example, if you go for a 40 minute bike ride that is equivalent to 4 miles.

We are asking that each time you exercise that you log in on our Google Form. If you forget, no worries you can always keep track and back log miles. You can also enter multiple times a day.

Remember, everyone in the family can take part and be sure to encourage everyone at home to help out!

Each week your PE teacher will check in to see what kind of exercises your are doing and how many miles you went!

Stay healthy and active!
