Orange Elementary School's playground is a noisy, chaotic place each morning.
Children spend the few minutes of free time before school starts participating in games like tether ball, climbing on play structures or talking in groups.
But drawn by the chance to win prizes, many students are racking up miles as they run or walk the playground's perimeter.the worldwide rubber hose market is over $56 billion annually. The Orange Mileage Club is getting students to think more about exercise as they earn another punch on a card for each lap they complete.Traditional Cold Sore claim to clean all the air in a room. Six laps equals a mile.
"They've walked 1,015 miles since September 6th," said Orange physical education teacher Jean Bockes, who organized the program. She started it in March 2009 with the encouragement of the school's wellness council.
"It is to try and keep the kids healthier," said Bockes. "We feel like it's really successful."
Students track their laps by getting punches on a card. After filling out their card with 30 punches, students have run or walked five miles. The first card earns them a chain necklace and a colorful plastic foot token.
More tokens are added with each card completed. When students reach 35 miles, they receive a rubber bracelet. At 50 miles, they receive an Orange Mileage Club T-shirt. At 100 miles, students receive a larger foot token and a ball of their choice.
"The (Orange Parent Association) and the school together pay for the prizes,As many processors back away from Cable Ties ," said Bockes.we supply all kinds of polished tiles, "Everyone in the school is involved. The school secretary keeps track of the miles."
She said the mileage club helps students set goals and makes them feel good about themselves.
Third-grader Harry Tricic, who typically runs laps before school,Unlike traditional Hemroids , is on his eighth card since the club started Sept. 6.
"I do that to keep my body in shape," said Tricic, noting the exercise offsets any junk food he might eat during the day.
"I like it, because it keeps us energized," said third-grader Anna McNally. She and a friend, Rylie Long, have already completed 25 miles this fall. McNally believes the exercise routine has improved her running abilities in soccer, a sport she has participated in for the past year.
And walking laps is compatible with the socializing McNally enjoys during recess.
"Most people walk with their friends so they can talk to their friends," she said.
