Running Club

Our mission is to promote the health and wellness of our students through running. 

We host Running Club every Friday for the entire school year during their 20-minute lunch recess. Students are encouraged to run laps around our playground and scan laps with their tags with each lap they complete. Laps count toward their cumulative mileage and they are rewarded at various milestones (1 mile, 2 mile, 5 mile, etc) with prizes.

Lunch recess:

Kinder - 2nd ✷ 10:35 - 10:55

3rd - 5th ✷ 11:20 - 11:40
