Our club is 14 years old!!! TheRunning Club offers a positive outlet for any student, in grades 5 - 12, to participate and enjoy a healthy activity. This year, a grand total of 83 students had taken part in the club!
Ourfirst meeting was March 4th. EachThursday after school, students learned proper stretching techniques as well aswarm-ups used by many athletic teams. We even took out the stopwatch to findsome students able to complete a quarter-mile loop in under 4 minutes! We utilized the elementarygymnasium, which saved us from cancellation due to unsafe running conditions.The kids just love playing the running game, called Four Corners.” Discussionswere held on the various S-E programs, sports, and clubs available. Photos weretaken each week and displayed in both the elementary school and MS/HS schoollibrary. Students could not waitto see their picture posted! Ourlast meeting was on April 15th, where we had; and we thank our DJ Jake Parsons, who played as we ran!!!
