Third grade students at Break-O-Day began their Mileage Club today! Students can walk or run laps at recess and scan their badge to keep track of their laps. Running laps earns tokens and awards and our students were so excited to get started that they ran a total of 23 miles on the first day! Thank you, Clark Pleasant Education Foundation, for providing the grant that helped us purchase the materials needed to motivate our students to get moving at recess!
