GRADE LEVEL MILEAGE TOTALS
Celebrate how many miles the entire grade level has conquered together.
Idea #1 Filter your Impact Dashboard by a grade to provide updates quickly.
When you filter your Impact Dashboard by a GRADE, all of the data changes reflect the data just for that grade.
Total miles and marathons, average mile per participant, monthly mileage totals, and top 5 participants of that grade.
Monitor the average mile per participant for each grade level. This is a way to make this fair if one grade has more kids than the other grade level.
You could even set grade-level mileage goals to conquer by the end of your season.

Idea #2 Pull a Grade Leaderboard Report to share updates on each grade.
The first page of the Grade Leaderboard Report shows you Grade Level Mileage totals and average mile per runner for the date range you selected.
Post your updates on your Marathon Kids bulletin board. Use the Top Grade title card.

CLASS MILEAGE TOTALS
Idea #1 Filter your Impact Dashboard by a class to provide updates.
When you filter your Impact Dashboard by a CLASS, all of the data changes to reflect the data just for that class.
Total miles and marathons, average mile per participant, monthly mileage totals, and top 5 participants of that grade.

GOLDEN SNEAKER/GOLDEN SHOE REWARD
Celebrate your top runner, grade, or class with the Golden Shoe award. We've heard this called the Golden Shoe, Golden Sneaker, and even the Golden Trophy reward.
This is a coach-created reward and how you decide to reward is up to you!
Example: The class with the most miles, during the challenge, in each grade level wins the Golden Shoe. They get to keep the shoe in their class until the next awarding cycle.
