Message from Dr. Malally
Hello-
Thank you to PFA!
Did you know that PFA funds a portion of art, music, technology and so much more at Condit. Through the organizing of their fundraising events, we are able to provide our students with much needed materials and resources that our school doesn't receive from state and federal funding. Most recently, PFA approved to help cover a portion of the cost for our Response to Intervention (RtI) aide, and free up some of Condit's site budget. Thank you to our families for participating in the fundraising events this year, and also those who are reaching out to volunteer in the upcoming school year. We NEED you, and can't do it without PFA's support! Thank you!

100 Mile Club Information
Since 1993, 100 Mile Club® has been the elite school-based program leading the effort in the prevention of childhood inactivity and obesity across the nation. The award-winning 100 Mile Club program improves the health and well-being of children at school through daily physical activity in a noncompetitive, supportive, and fully-inclusive environment.
The 100 Mile Club is much more than just a running program. It changes lives by improving school readiness to learn, increasing student and family engagement, and creating a true “team spirit” that transforms school culture. Embracing the whole child concept, 100 Mile Club benefits the physical, social, emotional, and mental aspects of students. Condit has participated in the 100 Mile Club for over 10 years.
The goal of the 100 Mile Club is for each student to run or walk 100 miles in a school year. Dr. Malally will continue circulating through classrooms on Fridays to recognize these accomplishments, however students will initially receive a shout out to signify their 25 miles, along with an order form. Parents will have the option to purchase the 100 Mile Club incentive package for $11, which includes the t-shirt (25 miles), golden pencil (50 miles), bracelet (75 miles), and finally the 100 Mile Medal that is awarded at our Medal Ceremony at the end of the school year.
