Fun Fit Fridays (F3) Starting Soon! Registration Open Until Thursday.

F3

 

We are excited to invite you and your child(ren) to our run/walk program, Fun Fit Fridays (or F3).  Students in all grade levels, K-6, are welcome to participate, as well as parents and teachers!  

Students, parents, and teachers are encouraged to meet on the Lees Corner track to run/walk laps on Friday mornings from 8:10-8:35 AM beginning on Friday, April 15 and running through Friday, June 3. If a student is not running/walking in the program, he or she should not arrive at school earlier than 8:35 AM 

Fun Fit Fridays is a token reward program. Each student-participant is issued a running card to keep track of his or her laps and total miles over the course of the year.  Students run/walk as many laps as possible in the 25-minute time period every Friday morning. After a student completes one lap around the track, an adult scans the student’s card. Each completed running card totals 30 laps, or 5 miles. Students receive a toe token upon completion of 5 miles. After 25, 50, 75, and 100 miles, students receive a number token representing the miles completed.  

This is an excellent opportunity for your son or daughter to meet new friends, enjoy the benefits of running/walking, and develop an appreciation for fitness. We hope this program builds self-confidence and improves fitness levels among our students and within the community. Everyone is welcome to join us!

If your child will participate in F3, please fill out this form and return it to your child's teacher by Thursday, March 31st

Please participate in the Family Engagement Survey. Your feedback is critical in helping to inform and improve FCPS’ practices to best support our students.

Taking this survey will also help strengthen the partnership between your family and our school. When that partnership is strong, students can experience a range of benefits including improved school readiness, higher student achievement, and better social skills and behavior.

FCPS is partnering with independent firm K12 Insight to administer the survey, and it will be available in eight languages. For more information, please watch this short video from Superintendent Brabrand and visit the Family Engagement Survey webpage. Your voice matters!
