General Information

     The goal of the EARTHS Running Club is to promote a healthy lifestyle of
     exercising through running, jogging or walking. We will meet every Tuesday
     and Thursday mornings at 7:45 AM throughout the school year and tally the
     laps as the Geckos try and make it to places far and beyond. Our stretch
     goal is to make it all the way around the country.

Raining Day Rule: If it is raining, Running Club will be cancelled. Please do NOT drop off your children for Running Club unless the gate is open and the Running Club Coordinators have set up the check-in table.

The twice-a-week club was founded in 2010 by former EARTHS parent Wendy Fachini in honor of EARTHS teacher Rose McManama.

2016 - 2017 Running Club is operated by parent volunteers Carl Kolvenbach and Paul Kostenuik.

Running Club Guidelines for checking kids in as they complete laps:

Please do your best to mark a child for each lap they complete.
Children should ensure that they check in with you every time they complete a lap. As you get to know the kids better in a particular class, you can check them as they come around but
a good practice is to make sure they establish eye contact with you each time they come around.
On Thursdays you will have some students that ran on the previous Tuesday and some that did not. Please start marking their laps for the day in the first free space after their name. This makes it easier on the tallying of laps at the end of the week.
When the coordinator announces "Last Lap" the children can continue to run and complete laps. However, once the siren goes off, children should complete their current lap and check in to get credit for their lap. We need the help from volunteers here to stop kids after they complete their current lap. Otherwise, we start getting complaints from kids that don't get a "free" pass to do one more lap. The easiest way to stop a kid from running is let them know "they can run it but you can't count it."
Children should not be given credit for laps they do not complete or actually run. Our goal out here is to get the kids experiencing a healthy lifestyle by adding exercise into their weekly routine. Through this activity they may also experience some friendly competition but they should focus more on bettering themselves through weekly, monthly and annual goals. We do trust and count on our volunteers to record the laps run with integrity.

Please help us keep this a fun and rewarding Club for all participants and volunteers.
