Dear Parents,
We are happy to announce that a group of Oakton staff and parents are starting a Running & Walking Club this school year and it is for FREE.
Our Goal
is to provide students with weekly fun fitness and running activities while students practice and track their running & walking mileage. We will be teaching the right way of breathing, warm-up and cool down exercises, alongside little fun facts about health and nutrition.
When?
The Running Cougars will practice every Tuesday from 8:15-8:45am, starting September 15th, 2015 and it will be open to ALL GRADES (Please note: all running team members need to arrive promptly). We will meet outside the main entrance and use the school grounds for our training. On rainy days, we will do fitness activities inside the school building.
Clothing & Gear
Running Cougars do not need fancy fitness gear for the club though a water bottle would be advisable.
Volunteers Needed
Parents who would like to walk or run with the students are more than welcome to attend. Please indicate if you like to volunteer on the form.
Health
Please make us aware of any specific health considerations for your child. If your child uses an inhaler for asthma or an epi-pen, please include that information on the registration form.
