The students at Forest Avenue Elementary School are going the distance this year, thanks to the newly launched Mileage Club. The club began in October and Forest Avenue students have already walked more than 2,000 miles as a school. An outdoor space is sectioned off and classes walk the track twice – for the equivalent of one mile – at an allotted timeslot each day. Students get a stick for every mile completed and receive a token for every five miles. The walks help to increase physical activity while also giving students a break in the day. The school plans to continue the club in the winter months and move the walks indoors.
