Dear Parent/Guardian:
Hance is again planning to
offer the walking program called the Feelin’ Good Mileage Club. We are offering
this program to all children in the 2nd & 3rd grades.
This program is supported by a new grant from the Highmark Foundation through it’s Highmark Healthy High 5 initiative.
We believe that the Feelin’
Good Mileage Club provides a positive incentive for the children to walk for
fitness. The Mileage Club will be held
during recess, and the walking course will be entirely on school grounds. The
program will begin on October 1st and run until Thanksgiving. It
will return in the spring on April 1, 2010.
Your child needs good
walking shoes to participate. Be sure to
have your child dress appropriately for the weather. Each child is free to walk as little or as
much as he/she desires in the designated time. The Feelin’ Good Mileage Club is non-competitive.
Awards will be given at
various milestones with the goal of earning a Mileage Club T-shirt once your
child has walked 20 miles.
We think your child will
enjoy the Feelin’ Good Mileage Club. If
you have any questions, please feel free to call the project coordinator Mrs.
Wentz at 724-443-1541.
Please complete this consent
and return to Mrs. Wentz.
