What is The Daily Mile?

The Daily Mile is a life-changing opportunity for children and the adults who lead them. It is a solution to healthier, happier, more engaged students! The Daily Mile is a whole-child movement that takes kids outdoors to run, jog, roll or walk for 15-minutes each day. But it’s so much more than that. Created by an elementary school principal and her students, it is proven, effective, and sustainable. The Daily Mile is free for your school family … forever. Watch the video above to learn more! 

The Daily Mile serves nearly 4 million children in 85+ countries. It is in all 50 states in the USA including rural, suburban, and urban schools. The Daily Mile is open to all schools of every socioeconomic status including public, private, charter, and home schools. Check out the Global Map and follow these Core Principles for success!

 

Here’s why your school district should join the movement  …

  Students improve their social-emotional well-being. They boost their ability to manage emotions, set & meet goals, foster positive relationships, and make good decisions.

Classroom management plans improve! Schools minimize time out of class for behavior with this proactive Positive Behavior Support and Intervention Strategy.  This leads to better behavior, more time on task, and happier teachers.

  Students improve their academic achievement. Problem-solving, focus, concentration, and memory improve with this physical activity.

   Classroom and campus morale increases as teachers connect with students outside the rigors of class.

  Teachers feel empowered as they decide when their class does The Daily Mile. Overall teacher wellness improves, too!
