This is more than a running club! LMR inspires boys through the power of running to be courageous enough to be themselves, to build healthy relationships, and to live an active lifestyle. We are looking for coaches to come alongside 4th -6th grade boys as they challenge some of the stereotypes of boys in our society. This is a twice-a-week commitment for just seven weeks!
If you have any questions or are interested in coaching, just contact Site Liaison Drum (mbdrum@fcps.edu).

📝Fall SEL Screener Information
The SEL Screener elevates the voices of our students by making sure their perspectives are considered in decision-making. Screener data is used to plan programming for the division, schools, and individual students. Division and school level results, which do not include individual student information, may be used by staff to improve SEL and mental wellness practices and to inform strategic plans. Division and school level results may also be shared with the community to describe the needs of our student body and provide opportunities for partnership.
You can opt out your child from participating in the SEL Screener by completing the paper copy on page 18 of the K-8 Annual Notice Booklet found HERE. The opt out applies to the current school year and must be completed annually. For more information about the SEL Screener and access to its contents visit https://www.fcps.edu/student-tests-and-assessments/student-assessment-details/social-emotional-screener/grades-3-12
