Poplar Tree Elementary School PTA

Before-School Running and Walking Club 

​

It's time to get your running and walking shoes on! We are continuing the before-school Running and Walking Club for all students in grades 1-6 (kindergartners may participate with a parent present). 

Join us Thursday mornings from 7:45-8:20 a.m. starting April. There is a $5 fee to cover supplies. Register and pay here. 

We will meet at the blue playground behind the gym, drop off backpacks and then go to the field. We will need a minimum of three adults present at each session to ensure the supervision and safety of all participants, so we welcome parents to stay and connect with one another. 

If it is raining or the field is too wet, Running Club will be cancelled for the day. Families will receive a text by 7 a.m. if there has been a cancellation. 
 

Running and walking promotes good cardiovascular health and an overall importance of being fit, while increasing our children’s self-esteem. In addition to having fun workout, students will be able to receive foot tokens/charms to add to a running necklace. Each token will represent one mile your child has run/walked. Four laps around the field equal a mile.

Make sure to bring:

• A change of shoes and/or socks in case they get wet

• A water bottle

• Weather-appropriate clothing - we will go in all conditions, except pouring rain or dangerous storms.

• Your child's foot token chain, if you don't have one there will be some available.
   

Please contact Bassem Fahim with any questions. Together, we all make a difference!
