Mileage Club 2016
Thursday, September 22nd will be the kickoff day for Mileage Club. Every Tuesday and Thursday until October 20th. (Rain Day make-up) As in previous years, students are given the opportunity to walk or run during their lunch recess. This program promotes health and fitness in grades K-5. The Mileage Club course will be supervised by parent volunteers. The course is located around the field behind the school. A foot charm will be given for each 1 mile (4 laps around) your child completes by his/her teacher each week. The foot charms can be placed on a chain that they will be given after the first week. At the end of the Mileage club, winners will be decided based on overall laps. There will be only 1 prize per 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. In the case of a tie, a name will be randomly drawn for each place.
Please remind students:
PBIS is an expectation while participating in Mileage Club.
4 feet checked off their tracking card = 1 mile and a foot charm (teachers will pass out charms once a week)
You must carry your tracker card on the course.
Lost charms and/or chains WILL NOT be replaced.
You can walk or run the course. Kindergarten must walk only.
You MUST stop and have a volunteer mark your tracker card after EACH lap at the Start/Stop cone. Only a volunteer may mark you card.
You must complete the full lap for it to count.
No corner cutting! Your lap will not be counted.
The last 5 minutes of recess you will be asked to return to the playground.
Each Kindergarten class is required to have at least 2 parent volunteers to walk with the students. Lunch Aides are welcome to join students or monitor the playground. Volunteers will be available at approximately 11:00am until 1:10pm Tuesday and Thursday through October 20th.
Thank you for your support!

Greetings Lindemann Parents!
I wanted to send out a couple quick updates regarding Halloween at Lindemann Elementary.
- Monday, October 31st.
- 10:30 AM. Halloween Parade. Outside
- Classroom parties directly after the parade (classroom teacher would communicate an alternate schedule with their families)
- Parents assisting with parties MUST be cleared with the teacher
- Parents assisting must check into the main office after the parade
- Parents are asked NOT to enter the building before the parade.
Costumes:
- Students will wear their costumes to school.
- All costumes must be school appropriate
- No play guns or weapons of any kind
- Please do not allow your child to wear a mask. Masks tend to slip causing a possible trip and fall accident / injury.
Parade Path:
- Weather permitting. We will be outside for our parade. Our plan is to start the parade with our Kindergarten classes. We will walk through the building picking up our 1st grade classes and exit door # 9 (1st grade doors). We will re-enter Lindemann at door # 10 picking up our 2nd and 3rd grade classes. We will walk through the halls and exit door # 11 picking up our 4th and 5th grade classes. We will walk through the staff parking lot to Carter street. We will walk up Carter Street (in-front of the main entrance) to Wick Street. We will follow Wick Street to Becker Street. We will walk down Becker Street to door # 11 (5th grade doors) where we will re-enter the building. Each class will then proceed back to their classrooms for their parties.
- We will not be exiting and entering through the main entrance.
- Parents assisting in the classrooms MUST enter through the main entrance after the parade to check into the building.
The staff and students are excited and hope you will be able to join us during our parade.
Thank you
Mike Darga, Principal
