Billion Mile Race
Do students at your school walk or run?
Those miles belong in the Billion Mile Race. Perhaps your students walk and run throughout the year as part of a regular program. Those miles belong in the Race. Does your school participate in a walk-a-thon or 5K? Tally them up and put them in. What about walk-to-school? Those count too. You get the picture. Not running but want to get started? You've landed in the right place. We've got you covered.
We know that thousands of schools have experienced the benefits of adding walking and running to the school day. Active kids simply do better - better in the classroom, better attendance, better health and fitness. We want thousands of more schools to experience the same. That's why we are uniting the efforts of schools across the nation to walk and run one billion miles. Yep, that's right, billion with a 'b'.
Passport to Winter Fun (Upper Valley)
The Passport program is an elementary school fitness program that encourages children and their families to remain physically active during New England’s long winter season. Participants track the days on which they have been active for 60 minutes or more of physical activity in their passport, progressing through levels of achievement when they have completed 10, 20, or 30 days of activity within the six-week program period. At each of these achievement milestones, the children receive their choice of a fun incentive prize.

Help your students’ parents understand that physical education is about teaching, learning, and fun by participating in Family PE Week, October 4-8. It’s a win-win-win for students, parents, and PE teachers.
Parents who participated in 2019’s Family PE Week said it increased their understanding of what content is taught (76%) and how it is taught (79%), and 65% said that it increased the value they place on PE. Also, 81% said they participated because they wanted to show their child that they believe physical education is important!
PLEASE REGISTER HERE. Why? Because Active Schools can bring more media attention to Bring PE to Your Family Week, and physical education in general, when we are able to report a large number of participating schools.
