One Step at a Time

The Extra Mile & Putting Your Best Foot Forward Clubs

*Extra Miler’s must have had marks of “B’s” or higher in all subjects last semester.

*EVERYONE can BFF (put their best foot forward)!

The Extra Mile Club is for those who want to step up to the plate and challenge themselves over and above the given classroom assignments. Striving for their own personal bests, Extra Milers will be given additional requirements on three assignments per week (more if they want to up the ante), additional test questions (per request), and five extra vocabulary words per month (bank). Additionally, extra components of choice can be added to project assignments.
For each Extra Mile assignment, students will be given an Extra Mile Ticket. For each Extra Mile test, project or monthly vocabulary bank the student completes, he/she will receive an Elite Miler ticket. When a student accrues 9 Extra Mile assignment tickets and three Elite Miler tickets, he/ she will receive a “Went the Distance” certificate and will be treated to a special lunch with all the other “Went the Distance” awardees.

~In order to become an Extra Miler, you must fill out a form and have it approved by Ms. Pitman~

BFF’s (Best Foot Forwarders) can also go the distance, by designating specific assignments they want to go the Extra Mile on (these assignments are pre-designated Extra Mile assignments). If they meet the Extra Mile requirement upon completion of the designated assignment, they will receive a TOE-KNEE Award. Eight TOE-KNEES will render a special treat and a TOE-KNEE certificate. If eight TOE-KNEES are collected by the 3rd Quarter reports, and the student has received grades of “B” or higher in all subjects, he/she may choose to become an Extra Miler.

~In order to be eligible to put your Best Foot Forward, you must fill out a request form at the beginning of the week; You may not exceed more than two (2) Extra Mile assignments per week)~

The Clubs begin next week, January 12. For those who want to participate in the Extra Mile Club, application forms must be filled out by Thursday afternoon (January 8).

Membership has its privileges.

Cheers,
Ms. Pitman
