10 Guidelines For P.A.C.E. Trek 2008 . . .
To help schools get organized
for participation in this P.A.C.E. Trek, we've put together
a few guidelines. Please keep in mind that these are indeed
"guidelines" and you can certainly do what is necessary to
have one or more teams participate using the resources,
space and time that you have available.
 A
school can have more than one team! In fact, a
school can have as many teams as it would like to create.
Please try to have
no more than 100 students on each
individual team.
On
each team there should be no fewer than 24 students. If
a team were to only have 24 students, then each student would need
to contribute 10 miles per week to keep pace with Paul.
If
possible, mileage
should be acquired during the school day
(unless sports or club related) while
at Physical Education class, recess, or some other time
set by the team's supervising teacher.
Some
youth sports mileage will be
allowed. Each team member who is also on a
sports team (such as through YMCA or school), or a run/walk
club, may use some of their mileage as follows:
|
Team Size |
Mileage Allowed
(Sport or Run/Walk Club) |
|
80 to 100 students |
Up to 1 Mile Each Week
Per Person |
|
60 to 79 students |
Up to 1½ Miles Each Week
Per Person |
|
40 to 59 students |
Up to 2 Miles Each Week
Per Person |
|
24 to 39 students |
Up to 4½ Miles Each Week
Per Person |
|
NOTE: Allowable Miles Are Only Those Actually
Completed! |
Running
and walking mileage counts towards a team's total.
However, no other activity should be converted to miles in
order to build a team's total (like converting # of
jumping jacks to miles).
Students
with special needs should be given opportunities to use the
abilities they have to contribute to a team's distance. In
such cases, converting the amount of an activity to miles
counts.
Pedometers
can be used to measure distance, but cannot simply
be worn all day during school. Pedometers can be used during
times established for running/walking to acquire trek
mileage.
One supervising
team teacher and up to 2 adult assistants
may run/walk with students during school times
set for acquiring trek mileage. The adults may add their
distance to the team total.
Once
the trek is underway, teams shouldn't add more people.
However, if a team member becomes sick or injured and cannot
continue, he or she may be replaced if a substitute is
available.
Teams
can consist of multiple elementary grades. As an example,
the Kindergarten, 1st Grade and 2nd Grade at a school can be
a team, while the 3rd, 4th and 5th Grades are a team.
That's
It!
Pretty simple, eh?
