Findley Flyers
Findley Flyers kicked off last week and we’re off to a great start!! We’ve had tremendous participation from both students & volunteers. We even spotted Mrs. Kennedy, Ms. Schulz & Dr. Marsh out on the track!
If your child came home with a fun eraser, that means they ran at least 1 mile. There will be more fun & prizes along the way to help keep the kids working towards their goals.
If your child is interested in participating, just tell them to come find us on the playground at recess on Tuesday or Thursday morning before school (starting at 8am). Every student has a running card ready to go and they can run or walk as much as they choose.
On Tuesdays, we will unfortunately have to cancel if it is raining hard enough to become a safety concern, but a little drizzle here & there won’t stop all of us Oregonians (good running/walking shoes are a must however!) We never cancel on Thursday mornings, we just run under the covered part of the playground.
* Sign up with below link so we know you are coming and can contact you in case of cancellation.
* When you arrive at school- sign in on the mVP computer timeclock in the front office, grab your Photo ID Badge and meet us at the Findley Playground.
