The fifth grade will be taking a walking field trip to
the Brighton High School track on Wednesday, October 15th to test for the
Presidential Physical Fitness Mile Run. We will be taking our lunches with us to picnic after completing the mile.
Students will run in groups of 10 students. Other students will cheer on their peers from the bleachers. Students make bring a book to read, electronics or headphones to play with/listen to while they wait. They must be responsible for their personal items.
Students are encouraged to dress in comfortable layers. Running shorts, tank tops, and sweats are appropriate for the track. Water bottles and comfortable running shoes are very important. Other suggested items include sunscreen, a hat, snacks, and possibly an umbrella. We'll keep an eye on the weather forecast.
Practice! We've been running laps at school, but kids will build their endurance by practicing in your neighborhood as well.
