Warwick Valley Middle School Mileage club
The Middle School Mileage Club is an opportunity for all students (Grades 5, 6, 7, & 8) to have fun while improving health.
When do we meet?
Fall: Monday, Thursday, or Friday (Choose one day you want to come!)
Spring: Monday, Wednesday or Thursday
(Listen to the morning and afternoon announcements for any schedule changes)
What time do we meet?
2:40-3:30 pm after school
How do students get home?
Students must get picked up by the flag pole in front of the Middle School or take the late bus.
****************There is NO supervision after 3:30*****************
What will we do?
Run or walk after school, with or without a group of friends. We will keep track of our miles that we complete each day and week. We will have a friendly competition to see who runs or walks the furthest. Best of all we will be exercising and improving our health!
All students will receive Mileage Cards to bring to the track. You will get your card marked for each lap you complete. After completing one card (8 punches = 2 miles), you will earn your chain and first toe token. For each card you complete you will earn a toe token. Collect as many as you can and wear the bracelets, necklaces, or key chains with Warwick pride!
