The Gledhill Running Club started this week.
We have many participants, students as well as family members. Primary students (grades 1 to 3) run on Tuesday morning and the Juniors (grades 4 to 6) run on Thursdays.
We meet at the Terry Fox doors at 7:45am … please feel free to join us.
Announcing the Gledhill Running Club! The running club is a way to have the Gledhill community get together and enjoy running. The club is open to both Primary and Junior students.
Primary students and their parents are invited to join our run every Tuesday starting November 5, 2013 at 7:45. Junior students and their parents are invited to join our run every Thursday starting November 7, 2013 also at 7:45. Please meet in the Terry Fox Hall.
Running Club registration forms are going home in this week’s Wednesday file. They are due at the first run or to Mme Scaife in room 17. There are extra registration forms in the school office as well.
The club will run, rain, shine or snow so bring extra clothing and especially extra shoes and socks. All runners are required to run in running shoes. The club will run every week, through fall, winter, spring and the few days of summer. Our route will be in the neighbourhood of Gledhill. Running is an inexpensive activity and a sport that fosters healthy habits so we look forward to seeing many of you out there!
Last Sunday, October 20th, 30 Gledhill students joined thousands of runners in the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon. Students from 15 schools participated in the Marathon Jr., a 5km run that took the young runners through the downtown core of the city. many parents came out to support their children and some of them ran along side the Gledhill students. A big thanks to Mr McLachlan for joining the group for race day and to Mme Scaife for organizing Gledhill’s participation and preparing the athletes.
Grade 4 students were interviewed after the race and asked about their experience. You can listen to their reflections in our podcast here …
