Beginning September 13 through October 1, at 7:30 a.m. Woodcrest students will be given the opportunity to enhance their overall fitness by participating in a running program. Students will be encouraged to run at a comfortable pace while working on their cardiovascular fitness. This activity will occur on the soccer practice field where students will run around the perimeter, keeping track of their laps as they run.
At 8:15 a.m., students will then go into the gym to record the distance/mileage they have achieved for the day. Students that decide to participate in this program are allowed to come any day (Monday through Friday) that they choose to attend, however once with the club, they must stay with the group until the group is dismissed to go to class. Students will have the opportunity to monitor their own individual progress. The importance of daily exercise will be stressed. For cardiovascular benefits to occur, students must try to attend on a daily basis.
Please Note: Because of the wet grass, students will more than likely get wet socks and shoes. I would recommend keeping extra dry socks and shoes in the classroom or backpack.
If your child is interested in participating in this program, please return the following permission slip directly to me in the gym or to my mailbox in the main office. I must have their permission slip on file before your child can participate in the run club.
IF IT IS RAINING, RUN CLUB IS CANCELLED FOR THAT DAY.
