Virtual Cougar Movers
Does your student love Cougar Movers, but you can't attend in person Friday Mornings? We have a solution! You and your student(s) can participate in Virtual Cougar Movers!
- Pick a day each week to track your Cougar Movers laps. Doesnât have to be a Friday, pick any day you want. If you miss a week, thatâs ok! But, we are only counting laps once a week, just like if we were in school.
- Pick a location, you can use a school track or simply track your distance on your phone/watch. 1 lap = .25 miles.
- Start your timer for 45 minutes and get moving! You donât have to run/walk for the whole time, but 45 minutes is the weekly limit for our program.
- When you are finished, fill out the Cougar Movers Google form every Sunday by 8:00 PM for that week and we will enter your laps into our system. Charms will be delivered to your student's teacher.
