Jefferson Joggers
After-School Training

Jefferson Joggers 2015 is underway! An after-school training program is taking place each week on Monday and Thursday (weather permitting) until the Little Rockers Marathon (Feb. 28).

 

Please have your child wear athletic/running shoes to school on training days. 

 

Smile Mile Cards will be accepted on Mondays around 2:15 p.m. Mrs. Mannon will make an announcement for the children with cards to come to the cafeteria to obtain their necklace and charm(s).

 

Each card counts as 5 miles. You will need to fill out the card, sign it, and send it to school with your child. The miles can be ANY athletic activity, i.e. athletic practices or games such as basketball, gymnastics, soccer, tennis, dance, etc.  Every 30 minutes counts as half a mile (unless they run an actual mile in 30 minutes).  No one is keeping up with this except for you and your child so use your own discretion. 

 

If your child goes to CARE and attends after-school training, please remind them to check in with Mrs. Baker who takes roll specifically for CARE to give to Ms. Pool.   

 

If you have any questions, please contact Allison Baker at abaker95@sbcglobal.net.
