Mr. G and 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade classroom teachers will be offering an afterschool running and walking club beginning Monday, May 2nd. The emphasis of this program is on developing a healthy life style. The program dates will be Mondays, May 2nd, 9th, 16th, and 23rd from 2:35-3:45. There will be a Powder Run on Friday, June 3rd afterschool starting at RES and finishing up in the Richmond Park with food, music and fun activities.
There are numerous physical, academic, and behavioral benefits to running and walking. Participation in this program will allow your child to charge their bodies and their brains while spending some additional time with their classroom teacher. In addition to the one day a week practice, participants will also be asked to run/walk at least one additional day per week with a family member.
This program is for students in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade. Younger runners may participate as long as a parent is willing to volunteer at practice and stay with child. The cost of the program is $35 and includes a T-Shirt and registration to the Powder Run. If there is a conflict in your child’s schedule, there is an the option to register for the Powder Run for only $20. All proceeds from this event go back to grade level teams to promote learning in their classrooms.
