Running Club

This year we have started a running club that will be available to all fourth and fifth grade students. The purpose of the club is to expose students to the lifelong benefits and rewards of running.  The club will meet every Thursday morning starting September 21^st and meet throughout the fall session of intramurals.  We will chart each student’s progress and offer incentives when milestone distances are achieved.

This is a great opportunity for your child to be involved in program which revolves around fitness.  Research strongly indicates that children involved in exercise and fitness at an early age will have a favorable attitude toward wellness. It is also known to increase positive classroom behavior and attentiveness toward school work.

During the first two weeks, the club has amassed 345 miles collectively.  As parents, we need to be proactive in incorporating fitness into the lives of our children.
