Hello Everyone!
Thank you so much for showing interest in our MES Running Club. This club is open to 3rd-5th grade students. We will be accepting the first 30 students who complete and return their waiver and information packets. If you are not accepted for the fall session, we will have another session in the spring! We will practice every Tuesday that track 4 is in school from 4:00-5:00pm. If you are interested in joining the Running Club, please fill out the interest form and we will send home a waiver and information packet with your student. You can return your signed forms to the office or to Ms. Chet in room 311.
Thank you!
Ms. Chet & Ms. Blackton

Welcome to Running Club!!
STUDENTS: Thank you for joining the MES Running Club! The fall session of Running Club will last from August to December with our spring session running from January to June. The first practice for the fall session will be held on Monday, August 14 th , at 4:00pm. Please meet in room 311 when carpool has been called. If you need to change clothes, you can do this once you have checked in with Ms. Chet and Ms. Blackton in the classroom. Please make sure you are committed to weekly practices and a positive attitude!
PARENTS: Your child will need:
- Comfortable clothes - some days are windy or cold so prepare your child with a sweatshirt or jacket. No jeans.
- Appropriate shoes that are comfortable for running. Running shoes are best- no open-toe shoes, vans, cleats.
- A water bottle with your student’s name written on it. During each practice we will be warming up, playing active group games, working out, and cooling down.
We will be practicing at the following location(s), either on the track, baseball field, or 3-5 playground at MES.
Running Club will begin at 4:00 p.m. Please pick up your child at the front of the school by 5:00 p.m. Please pick your child up on time!
Your child will:
1. Learn about the program and how to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle
2. Set personal and group goals in a non-competitive environment
3. Experience pride in accomplishment We will practice running weekly with a goal of being able to run or walk 3 miles.
We encourage everyone to sign up for and run the MES Stampede 5k at the end of the year! We will also sign up for a local community 5k in the winter. More information about those races will be available as we get closer to those dates. We will log miles and time every week during Running Club to help your student keep track of their progress. If you choose, your child will be given a log sheet to take home to track mileage outside of Running Club.
Looking forward to a very successful Running Club session!
