Dear Parents, Guardians and Students,
For the month of May, we are pleased to
offer our students the opportunity to take part in our Running Club. This club
will take place before school and will run on a drop-in basis. No registration
required, just show up on the days that you can and run with us.
Running Club will meet on the field behind
the school on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:45-9:05am beginning Thursday May 2nd.
We will run for approximately 15 minutes and then stretch. Students will be
dismissed from the field at 9:05am to head down to the compound where their
class meets for entry.
Running is a fantastic activity to be
involved in at a young age. It brings many rewarding benefits for kids’
physical, mental and personal development. The Canadian Physical Activity
Guidelines recommends at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous-intensity
physical activity daily. When students join us for running club, they will be
working towards building the habit of regular physical activity at a young age
and this is invaluable to long-term physical and mental health.
Our top reasons why students should join us
for running club:
·
Running is fun!
·
You will build a healthy habit.
·
Exercise is an important tool
for managing chronic health conditions including obesity, diabetes, ADHD,
anxiety and other challenges.
·
Running helps to improve
confidence and self-esteem.
·
Running makes you feel good!
We look forward to seeing you out on the
field with us! Thank you for your continued support of our goal to create
healthy and happy students!
