Dear Parents/Guardians,

Once again, we will have a spring session of Kilometre Club that will “run” from
Monday, March 28h to Wednesday, May 4th The purpose of the Kilometre Club is to
encourage a healthy and active lifestyle as well as providing an opportunity for
children to set and meet realistic goals.

 
The Kilometre Club will run Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings from 8:10-
8:40 am. Please DO NOT drive into the staff parking lot to drop your child off for the
Kilometre Club. The Kilometre Club will run in ALL weather; therefore,
students must be dressed appropriately. Only kilometers completed at school
will be recorded. We encourage you to join your child in this activity by setting a goal
for yourself as well. Please make sure all participants stretch appropriately before
and after their run/walks.

 
Here are some details about the Kilometre Club:

· Four laps around the perimeter of the field equal one Kilometre
· Student will receive a special popsicle stick every time they complete a lap
· They will trade in 4 popsicle sticks for one Kilometre strip
· It is the student’s responsibility to hold onto their sticks and strips until their
   teacher records them on their classroom chart
· Students from K to 7 are welcome to participate, in addition to others family
   members
· Members are encouraged to set realistic goals
· Ribbons will be awarded as children reach 15, 25, 35, and 50 Kilometres
· Each teacher will keep a chart of the progress of all their students

If you have any questions regarding Kilometre Club please contact your classroom
teacher. If you would like to help out please be sure to arrive at the field by 8:10
and we will provide you with popsicle sticks and kilometre strips.
We look forward to a great turn out this spring!
Yours for a healthy life,
