Wanted: Jackson Running Club Coach
Jackson Running Club is looking for a new program coordinator for the 2019-2020 school year. Our previous coordinator will be on travel for a good chunk of the fall season and is looking for someone to step up for the year.
Typically running club is two days a week and runs Mid-September through the Marion Turkey Trot in November and then 4-6 weeks in the spring. For the running club to happen we need a coordinator in place by next week.
*Duties include student supervision and putting together a training schedule twice a week and notifying parents of weather.
*The coordinator sets practice times and days
*You do not have to be a runner to coordinate!
This is a fun volunteer position and a great group of kids. If you are interested please email Emmaly at fenren03@gmail.com

- Dues are $8/ Individual or $15/Couple
- Next PTA meeting is Tuesday, Oct. 1, at 6-7pm. Free childcare provided.
2. Volunteer Interests
Please know that signing up for an event DOES NOT fully commit you to it. We are just generating an interest list and as these events draw closer we will send out an email to those who show interest through this survey to see who is available and in what capacities. Volunteers are what makes Jackson such a great community and there are opportunities for both working parents, stay at home parents and both with a boatload of little tagalongs or big middle and high school helpers.
3. Student Groups Interest
The survey also lists extra circular activities at Jackson. Again this does not sign up students, but we will pass along the contact information so the group leader can reach out to those who are interested.
