Poinciana Elementary Morning Milers
Poinciana Pelicans are extremely excited about their Morning Mile program, which is sponsored by Lower Keys Medical Center. They completed 620 miles in the first five days alone, and plan to walk enough miles to get all the way to Hollywood, California. This should easily be accomplished as 387 out of 628 students or 61.6% of the student body has already participated, and student and parent participation is increasing daily. Go Pelicans! The Poinciana Elementary Morning Mile coordinator, Sunny Booker, has received many positive emails about their Morning Mile and shared them with us. (Which we LOVE!) Before we get to those though … P.E. teacher Mr. Hughes was so surprised at how active the students were first thing in the morning, he stated, “I would have given out straws long ago if I had known.” Priceless.
☺ My son no longer gives me a hard time waking up in the morning.
☺ Walking with my daughter is my favorite part of my day.
☺ My son is learning how to pace himself and learning the skills of a life-long runner.
☺ The kids have time to socialize while doing something good for them. It is a win-win.
