Running Club begins
September 3rd
 

Running Club

I am happy to announce that Myer Running Club is back! Students will experience enjoyment in physical activity, team unity, and goal completion. As a club, we will strive to represent our school while having fun! The Running Club is open to all interested girls and boys, 3rd through 5th grade.  Our goal is to provide a fun and supportive opportunity for our children to be active and develop better fitness, self-discipline, and a dedicated attitude in all that they do.  I believe being a member of the Running Club will positively impact self-esteem and attitude.

Running club will begin on Tuesday, September 3rd and will be held every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday during lunch recess. I’ll be stationed at the track to assist and encourage those students who choose to participate. Remember, this is an optional activity during recess time. No prior sign up is necessary.

Myer Running Club offers a wonderful opportunity for students to work on their cardiovascular fitness while accumulating miles run (or walked) around the track. Students will have their running club card scanned each time they complete a lap. Four laps around our track equals a mile. Once they’ve ran 5 miles total, they’ll receive their first brag tag shoe. For every 5 miles ran, they'll receive the next colored shoe. Class and top individual stats will be updated regularly on our Running Club bulletin board.

Parent volunteers are appreciated! Those available between 11:25 and 12:35 are welcome to come assist with keeping records and cheering on the runners. If you are interested in helping out at the track, please contact me ahead of time. 

Thank you!
