Mrs. Verkaik, Physical Education
Are YOU running for Mileage Club?
Two of our very own 3rd graders, Cameron & Sierra Carnes, have been busy with Mileage Club this winter...but not at school! They created their very own mileage club track at home! Their Dad shovels a track around the driveway and house, they trace their feet or hands to create and track their own laps on paper, and they get cool prizes in a mystery prize bag whenever they complete their miles! WOW! Way to go, Cameron & Sierra!!
