Dolphin Running Club

Dolphin Running Club

Attention 3rd, 4th and 5th Graders

Join Dolphin Running Club! We will meet once a week in the fall to walk, jog and run on CMS track.The focus of Dolphin Running Club is to encourage lifetime fitness through the individual sport of running. Students are not required to run, but are asked to move. Walking and jogging are great!Learning to pace ourselves and set individual goals are the main priorities.

What if it rains or is too cold? Running club will be canceled if it rains or is 32 degrees or below including wind chill. An email will be sent as soon as the decision is made.

Students should wear proper footwear and activity clothes that are appropriate according to the weather. Bring a water bottle too!

DOLPHIN RUNNING CLUB

Dolphin Running Club is off to a great start. This year we have 130 participants in grades 3-5. If you missed the deadline for signing up this fall, don't worry, we will open enrollment again in the spring. The students meet each Wednesday in October and November before school. They are logging their miles to earn prizes along the way. The club is funded through a grant from Sportsbackers and The Richmond Road Runners.

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE?

4th and 5th grade students have been working on the new dance SOL's which include choreographing their own dances. The students worked in small groups to create a 32 count line dance that could be preformed at a wedding. The students did an excellent job and I really enjoyed seeing their creativity unfold. Ask your child to perform their dance for you. 

TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER!

Students are encouraged to create their own personal dance piece using what we learned in class and enter it into the PTA Reflections contest. Visit vapta.org and click on Arts in the Schools to find out more. 

BOWL FOR FREE!

Sign the kids up for free bowling all summer long. This is great way to get a little exercise and have fun on a rainy day.
