Spring 2025: Dates TBD
Monday through Friday 7:45 am – 8:15 am
Join the South O Running Club!
Running Club is open to all students TK through 5th grade. The goal of running club is to motivate and inspire your children to enjoy physical fitness! Running is a lifelong sport that builds confidence and character!
It’s a productive way to take advantage of the school schedule and get our students moving in the morning! Studies have shown that students who participate in a physical activity before school experience benefits ranging from improved health and mood to improvement with on-task behaviors, such as attentiveness and concentration.
Students participating can choose what days they would like to run. It is not mandatory that they run every day, but running club will be available every day if they so choose to participate. Meaning they can run every day or once or twice a week, etc. Also, they can run, walk, or both! The idea is to get them moving at their own pace and what feels comfortable to them. It’s meant to be fun and positive! Family members are welcome to stay and join their child as well if you’d like!
We will be tracking the students' laps and providing rewards at the end of each week for runners who have run at least 12 laps that week. The top 10 performers over the 6 weeks will also be rewarded with an additional prize and recognized at the Soaring Seahawk Assembly!
If your child is interested, please feel out the registration form and return with your child back to the school!
We are looking for Volunteers!
If you would like to help out with Running Club in the morning, please include your contact info and what day you would like to help on the volunteer page of the registration form.
Just once a week will do. Hours are between 7:45 am to 8:15 am for 6 weeks. We will need volunteers to help set up (7:45am -7:50am), track laps (7:50am -8:10am), and record laps/ cleanup (8:10am-8:15am). Depending on your time availability you can volunteer to do one, two, or all three of these jobs during your volunteer shift.
Whatever you have to give we will take!
