Sherwood is once again offering the Kids Flying Pig Marathon Program. This is a wonderful program which promotes a healthy lifestyle and teaches kids the importance of healthy nutrition and exercise in a fun and rewarding way. The incremental marathon offered through the Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon allows students to log a mile at a time toward their goal of 26.2 miles!
They will use a "Hog Log" to record their miles. The last mile of the marathon will take place on Saturday, May 5th at noon on the actual Marathon Course during Marathon Weekend. The students will cross the same finish line as all participants for the weekend's events.

Flying Pig Art
Every student who registers will get to decorate their own pig. This pig will hang in the cafeteria to show each student's progress toward completion of the 26.2 miles. Mrs. Smith will send these home from art class for your child to decorate and return.
Hog Logs
Once registered, your child will receive their Hog Log to record their miles (keep this throughout the year to track progress). The parent who registers will also receive email updates and tracking information. This year, your child will only bring the hog log in to school twice. When they reach a half marathon (13 miles), they can take their log to gym class and Mr. Taylor will have an incentive prize for them. Then, for our final celebration with Smoothie King, in May, they can bring it in to show off their accomplishments. (otherwise, we will have electronic tracking to move cafeteria pigs along)
Flying Pig Goodies
Every child who registers receives a Flying Pig t-shirt, a poster and a medal. They also receive a free Reds ticket to the game on May 7th (Pig Night at the Ballpark) in which they have the FP participants parade around the field before the game.
