This school year was a challenge but a very successful one. Alex Sanger Preparatory Middle School in Dallas ISD started doing a monthly mile challenge in January 2021. It started with 30 miles walking or running with some type of extra physical component (certain number of push-ups/sit-ups etc.). We finished with a few teachers and students reaching 150 miles but multiple students and staff with 100+ miles. This is great! We were able to motivate the staff and students with monthly prizes including smartwatches to help track their running! We are so grateful and thank you. Read more
