Physical Activity Participation

We completed our first season as a Marathon Kids Running Club on March 22nd. The students celebrated their last fun by having a water gun fight after a great run down to the area park. The students really improved their stamina over the course of the school year! They participated in a 1 mile Santa Run in December and they are ready to involve more students next year. We are also looking at creating our own running event for the community! Thanks to Fuel Up To Play and to Marathon Kids for helping us to get moving and active!

How do you plan to make this Play last during the school year and beyond?

We are looking forward to involving more students in our running club and to providing opportunities for staff and the community to start running. We plan to host our own 5K run as well!
