There will be no run club on November 10th (Veteran's Day) or November 24th (Thanksgiving) as the school will be closed. 
Here’s how it works
All students are invited to participate in an active way to start off the day. On Friday mornings, from 8:15 am to 8:45 am, we will be out walking, jogging, or running the track. What a fun way to get some fresh air, exercise, socialize with friends, and start the school day energized and focused!
  • Report to the track at 8:15 am.
  • Get their index card from a parent volunteer.
  • Have their card marked at the end of each lap.
  • Turn in their card to a volunteer when the bell rings at 8:45am
  • Keychain rewards will be sent to classrooms the following week.


Fitness Club & Sprints
Are you up for the challenge? On select days (schedule to be decided) all runners will be invited to combine track running with exercise drills (like jumping jacks and push-ups), or sprints with their friends. Participation is optional but fun is guaranteed!
Short list of important rules
  • Keep moving the whole time.
  • Do not enter the building without permission.
  • Do not leave the track area or use the playground equipment.
  • Every runner must be registered.
  • Parents, please don’t park by the track entrance.
Students will be expected to monitor their own behavior. If a student is disruptive they will not be invited to return.
*** Parents, please confirm that run club is meeting before dropping your child off in the morning. Drop off is at 8:15am – your child will not be supervised before then.


Volunteers
If you’re available to help then we can use you! Please come with your child – you are welcome to walk or run on the track.

Cancellations & Other Updates
We sometimes have to cancel a session because of weather or poor track conditions.
Cancellations will be posted by 7:30am at the latest and parents will receive an email.
