Before School Run Club Starts Mon Jan 13 🏃👟🎽

Beginning this week, we will welcome walkers, joggers and runners onto campus before school starting at 7:25. Students that wish to participate will be expected to follow our school rules of responsibility, respect and safety. Our run club is operated by community volunteers who would appreciate additional support and assistance. We will need extra lap counters, help with records, and supervision. Parents and younger siblings are welcome to join our walkers and runners to help with supervision and role modeling safe behavior. Please join us on any mornings you are available. We look forward to seeing you on the track!

•  When? Every Monday and Tuesday (weather permitting) before school. 7:25 - 7:45a
•  Where? Wait at the Safety Patrol Gate for entrance at 7:35 and walk with the volunteers to the running track when the gate is opened. How do I join?  Your first visit you will get a running club card to track laps. Keep this card safe and return with it each day you participate.  -Flyer
