Running Club
Deer Canyon proudly operates a Mileage Club for all 1st -5th graders as part of our physical education program.
Students in grades 2nd-5th are required to complete a minimum of 2 laps each day at the start of recess. All 1st grade students must complete a minimum of 1 lap. Weather is closely monitored for student well-being. Students can walk, run or jog during recess and/or at lunch to complete their levels and earn incentives. Each level completed earns a prize for the student.
Please speak with your student’s teacher or Mrs. Worthington with concerns or feedback regarding your student’s participation.
Track Length (estimated)
1 lap = 1/4 miles | 2 laps = 1/2 mile | 3 laps = 3/4 mile | 4 laps = 1 mile
Marked Running Club Cards
To count laps, students have a lanyard with a markable card that is marked by staff and volunteers. You can see the laps your student has earned by visiting the front office, or by attending a FUNky Friday assembly.
Thank you to Deer Canyon's PSO for sponsoring the Mileage Club! And, thank you to our sponsors for helping recognize students for their miles earned:
- Sisters Judy Bauer and Mimi Sanders
- Islands Restaurants Mira Mesa
- Baskin Robbins 4S Ranch
We look forward to the miles our students will complete this year!
