Physical Activity Participation

We started an after school running club, in which 30 students are participating each Wednesday & Friday. 

What challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?

The first challenge is walking to and from the track, which is a half mile away. Recruiting extra staff is our goal to ensure the safety of our students. Weather conditions are our second challenge and we must be positive there is no lightening in the area using the storm tracker apps on our phones. A first aid kit is brought along for safe measure in case of an accident.

How did students and adults work together as a team?

We have a parent volunteer, several teachers and the Principal running or walking a mile with our students on the track.
