5/3 Feelin’ Good Mileage Club

Posted on May 4, 2016 by mvankoev

Feelin’ good mileage club is in full swing at GT. This program is sponsored by 5/3 Bank in honor of the River Bank Run. The program is designed to motivate kids to get moving at recess time. Each child gets a mileage maker card and a baggie to hold their “sticks”. (see photos)

At lunch recess on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays students can run around the track (running or walking) to earn sticks. Every time they complete a lap, they receive a popsicle stick. They are trying to earn sticks to turn in for miles marked on their mileage marker card, so 4 sticks = 1 mile. When they come to P.E. class, they bring their baggies and sticks. They will turn in sticks, multiples of 4 in exchange for miles marked off on their mileage club cards and even earn some prizes. One of the first prizes they earn is a free entry to race in the junior river bank race on May 11. (see photo). Some other prizes include a shoe lace, toe tokens and a chain.

The goal is to reach 20 miles on their cards. If they do, they earn an extra recess and a popsicle party on a nice sunny day!!!

Welcome Back to P.E.

Posted on August 31, 2015 by mvankoev

Summer is over and we are excited to start the 2015-2016 school year at GT! Please have your child keep a pair of P.E. shoes at school, so they will always be prepared for P.E. Your child needs to have a clean pair of shoes for the gym. These shoes do not need to be new, just CLEAN and need to stay at school. Be sure to bring them the first day of school because students will be going to specials.

Thanks for your help!

Mrs. Nienhuis and Mrs. VanKoevering
