My Project

Our learning community is excited to introduce the Morning Mile program to our students!

This fantastic initiative encourages physical activity by having students walk or run a mile around our school grounds before the start of the school day.

The Morning Mile program is vital for our students' well-being. It promotes cardiovascular health, as well as strengthens muscles and bones. Physical activity significantly boosts concentration and focus, leading to improved academic performance. Starting the day with exercise provides sustained energy throughout the school day, enhancing learning. Moreover, the Morning Mile fosters teamwork, camaraderie, and a sense of community. Your generous support will help us purchase essential equipment like colorful cones and flags to create a safe and engaging course, as well as provide small prizes and rewards to motivate and celebrate student achievements. Students will earn chains and charms to celebrate their milestones.

By participating in the Morning Mile, our students will develop healthy habits that will last a lifetime. They will improve their physical and mental well-being. Furthermore, they will become more confident and energized learners. Finally, they will build stronger relationships with their peers.

We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to live a healthy and active life. With your support, we can make the Morning Mile a reality for our students!

Thank you for your generosity and for helping us create a brighter future for our children.
