Run Club
Each month, students will jog for a designated amount of time depending on grade level around the gym. The goal for each student is to continually jog for the designated time. If the student is able to complete this task they get their name on the wall in the gym and are in the club. Students that are not able to jog are required to walk with their classmates. Students will set realistic goals for themselves to improve their time each month. Students get to understand that sometimes goals are not easily attainable, but with hard work and determination they accomplish their goals. The look on their faces when they do accomplish their goals is priceless! The run club was established to help improve cardiovascular endurance and improve pacer test scores. The pacer test is an aerobic capacity test used to assess students cardiovascular endurance. The test is administered twice a year, once at the beginning and end of the year. I have seen students scores improve from the beginning of the year to the end because of the run club.
