Medical Lake Elementary School students, grades 1-3, recently wrapped up Junior Joggers, a noon recess alternative program, for May 2007.
Students ran to complete grade level goals: First grade goal was six miles; second grade nine miles; third grade 12 miles. Students that completed their grade level goal by June 1 also participated in a Fun Run on Monday.
Students received “toe” tokens for every mile ran and jogger participants received free water bottles.
The total number of miles for first-graders was 637, second-graders 758 miles, and third-graders 830 miles. The total number of miles ran by participants was 2,225.
MLE teachers reported students had a fantastic time running, often challenging each other per mile. The school extends its thanks to the many volunteers who gave their time to make the Junior Joggers event possible every year.
