Fun Fit Friday is Back!

We are excited to invite you and your child(ren) to our walking 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 blacktop to walk around the building/path-on Friday mornings from 8:00-8:25 AM, followed by a cool down activity from 8:25-8:35 beginning on Friday, December 6 and running through Friday, February 28. 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 walking card to keep track of his or her laps and total miles over the course of the year.  Students walk as many laps as possible in the 25-minute time period every Friday morning. An adult will mark the student’s cards at two locations as they walk their laps around the school. Each completed running card totals 30 marks, 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 children 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. In order to make this program a success, we need parent volunteers. Please stay tuned for more information. 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 Tuesday, December 2.
