Serene Hills Run Club is Back!
FRESH START RUN CLUB IS BACK!
Dear Parents,
Kids have been asking and the weather is turning cooler...and drier (fingers crossed). The run club is going to meet in the mornings from 7:20-7:40 up on the track. We will kick off the first mile on October 1st and 2nd depending on grade level. I am asking you to commit to supervising with me at least one day. (Pick any October or November school date that your child runs.) With our growing campus I simply can’t supervise all kiddos so I am asking for your help. Your child will need to be on time for the club. They will report to the gym to leave their belongings inside and then head to the track when a coach is ready to lead them up. When it is your day to supervise you are welcome to walk or run with us or just enjoy the morning and drink your coffee:) Your child will need to be dressed PE ready. It is a privilege to come to the run club. Students’ behavior and effort must be at expectation or someone else will get to fill their spot.
I need all committed Fresh Start runners to fill out the google form in order to confirm your spot in the fall. You can sign them up through this google form. By committing to the run club we are expecting the runners to be present on their run club days and ready to run/walk a mile each morning. This helps students get a fresh start to their morning and enter the classroom ready to learn.
Kinder, 1st, and 2nd will meet Tuesdays and Thursdays (along with some 5th grade coaches)
3rd, 4th, and 5th will meet Mondays and Wednesdays
5th grade students can come to all 4 days if they choose to help coach K, 1, and 2. We will not meet Fridays so that students can attend our school wide assembly.
I am looking forward to working with your kiddos and helping them start their mornings off on the right foot! COACH Z

Destination Imagination Opportunity
Many students from our school have participated in Destination Imagination (DI) over the years and found it to be a fun learning experience. The group is led by parent volunteers and practices at least once a week throughout the year in preparation for the spring competition. The group will not meet/practice on the school campus, but will meet wherever the parent leader determines (homes, public library, etc.) much like a scouts group.
Although this is not a school sponsored group, we want to share the information below with you. Feel free to contact volunteer Kim Roy at 314-600-6064 with any questions. Sign up is extended through Sept. 28. Forms may be turned into our front office and will be picked up by the parent volunteers.
