Fitness Club
Hey Fitness Leaders!
Come join the fun and the tradition of our HPE Fitness Club! We get together after school to walk, run, and play!
In addition to modeling fitness and a healthy lifestyle, the staff and students are training for the October 10th Lee’s Summit Education Foundation Race for the Future. Each year, there is a contest between all Lee’s Summit schools to see which school has the most staff and students enter the race. Last year we DID NOT have enough participants to win a prize. Here’s a challenge to all fitness leaders…if you enter the race and beat any HPE staff member’s time, we will celebrate your fitness with an extra recess. If we are a top three school, you can help decide where the $500 prize money will be used for. Let’s see how many students and staff we can sign up for the Race for the Future. Let’s be the fitness leaders for the whole school district!
Staff members will train with HPE students on Mondays and Wednesdays AFTER school from 3:30 to 4:15. We will walk, run, and play some games. If you are unable to walk in the Race for the Future, that’s okay – please come join us at Fitness Club anyway. Fitness Club starts Wednesday, September 9. Parents are also invited to walk and help monitor students. If you give permission for your child to stay after school, please complete the WAIVER form and return it to your child’s teacher. In addition, we expect our students to use their leadership skills during fitness club and behave accordingly.
Make plans to pick up your child at 4:15 at the front of our building on Club days. Kids Country students will return to Kids Country at 4:15, as well.
In case of inclement weather (including excessive heat), we will stay indoors.
Club Dates (3:30 to 4:15) – Sept. 9, 14, 16, 21, 23, 28 and 30/Oct. 5 and 7

Will you tell us your story about student success through R-7 Story Project?
Do you have a story about your child that you'd like to share focusing on his or her success in school? As part of "The Story Project," Lee's Summit R-7 is featuring personal stories about our students and their accomplishments in school. We are looking for stories about a specific incident or an individual school staff member making a positive difference for your child.
The stories may be about children from birth through high school and may be submitted by parents and guardians of both past and present students. For example, you might share a story about how your child's kindergarten teacher helped her overcome school anxiety or how a high-school coach helped your son become a school leader. Stories should be 200 words or less and should go to janice.phelan@lsr7.net. You may also contact Janice Phelan to provide general information, and she will draft your story for your review.
For more information about The Story Project, visit the website.

Lee's Summit R-7 families are encouraged to frequently visit the district's informational flyers web page to learn about a wide variety of family and children's activities and events.
