Findley Flyers is a running/walking club that takes place during recess on Tuesdays and Thursdays before school at 8am.

If your child is interested in participating, just tell them to come find us on the playground at recess or Thursday morning before school out on the track. Every student has a running card ready to go and they can run or walk as much as they choose - earning prizes along the way and learning that exercise can be fun! It encourages kids to be physically fit and work towards goals. You don’t need to be a runner to volunteer. There are a lot of ways you can help out.

VOLUNTEER INFO:

· Volunteering - It's fun & easy; help students find cards, mark cards for completed laps, hand out prizes and cheer on students!

· Sign up on the link provided so we can see that we have enough volunteers and notify you in case we need to cancel due to weather: http://signup.com/go/5XxkNg
