Friday Morning Run Starts THIS Friday

Friday Morning Run will kick off this Friday before school on the track. Students have the opportunity to earn laps for their class as they get their wiggles out before school each Friday morning. It’s easy! Head to the track at 7:45, grab the STRIDE card from the rack, and run, walk, or skip laps for 15 minutes until the first bell rings: The point is to have FUN.
