CHESS CLUB

RUNNING CLUB

 

Students in Kinder, First, and Second need a parent chaperone at each meeting.  

 

Running Club helps build a foundation for a healthy lifestyle! Meetings give kiddos a chance to burn energy while spending time with friends. Regular physical activity can improve academic outcomes, self esteem, and overall well-being.  Kids can challenge themselves to run more laps each meeting. Top finishers will earn a medal. The last meeting will end with cold treats!

                                                                        

Grades: K-5

Meeting Days: Fridays (random through the year - see PTA Calendar)

Time: 3:10pm to 3:50pm

Registration Fee: $25

Chairs: Andrea Keyes and Nicole Gussis
