April 11, 2016 Dear Parents, In an effort to support the P.E. curriculum and foster physical fitness, Highlands will once again sponsor a kilometer club for all students from Grades ‘K’ to seven. Students will run laps around our school gravel field where one kilometer equals roughly 3 laps around the field. As the students complete one lap they receive a ‘specially marked’ popsicle stick. When they have completed 3 laps they may trade in their popsicle sticks for a KM strip. It is the responsibility of the students to hold onto their sticks until they complete that kilometer and to hold onto any KM strips until their classroom teacher has recorded them onto a classroom chart. Students will be rewarded with a special ribbon for every 25 kms they complete up to 200 kms and only for kms completed between Friday, April 22 and Friday, May 27. The students will be supervised by volunteer parents and staff during their running between 8:05 – 8:35 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays beginning on Friday, April 22 and ending on Friday, May 27. If your child wishes to run during “off” times (ie. evenings, weekends) he/she must be supervised by an adult who will verify the number of kilometers completed by providing a signed note for the classroom teacher. Walking to and from school, rollerblading or cycling will not be considered as completing kilometers. The Kilometer Club will not run in rainy weather. At this time we are asking any interested parents to come forward and become involved in our Kilometer Club. We need you to assist with the supervision during morning running sessions by handing out popsicle sticks and KM strips, running with the children, or cheering them on! Please indicate below if you are able to help out, and return the form to the office by Friday, April 15. We will contact you with the schedule. Thank you. Sincerely, Todd Henderson Please return to the office by Friday, April 15 ! I am able to help with supervision of running sessions. !
