Coaches
“While The Daily Mile is done by classroom teachers, I see a big improvement in the kids’ fitness when they come to my PE class. That extra 15 minutes a day of jogging or running really makes a difference. It makes me happy when the students come up to me in the hallway and say ‘Coach, I ran my Daily Mile for the whole 15 minutes today for the first time!’ I am very grateful to The Daily Mile for bringing my students so much joy.”
– Andrew Benbrook, PE Specialist
“This year was a great success in class! We had the whole class and parents on board. At the start of the year I was frustrated at the schedule for the day … 6-year-old children having to go straight from lunch to an hour and a half of math before recess. So I introduced The Daily Mile, which I had done in my school in England. There was a noted improvement in focus, attention and happiness towards math from all the kids. They loved it, it improved their mental wellbeing, happiness and fitness!”
