Morning Marathon 2019

MORNING MARATHON CLUB 2019

Students, staff, families and friends are invited to join the fun as we begin the 9th Annual Morning Marathon Club (MMC)!  We will meet 7:10-7:40a.m., Mondays through Thursdays on the high school track to walk/jog/run supervised ¼ mile laps.  Due to weather delays, our first day will be April 8, 2019.  We will NOT meet April 22, due to no school on that day.  Our last day will be May 16, 2019.

*****DEADLINE FOR Panhandle GOTR 5K/Fun Run is Friday, April 12, 2019*****

Must register ONLINE at https://fs12.formsite.com/GOTRNebraska/Chadron_5K/index.html by APRIL 12, to guarantee t-shirts for all participants and medals for those under 14.  EVERYONE UNDER 16, MUST have Run Buddy.)

The goal of this program is to give each participant a positive start to the day, establish a routine of exercise and live a healthy lifestyle.  This will help them build confidence and self-esteem that comes from setting goals and crossing the finish line.  It is also a great opportunity to talk to your child about setting personal goals:  what/how many days will they participate? How many laps do they want to complete? Lace up those running shoes and let’s get moving!

The first day each student participates, s/he must have a signed permission form.  If you would like your child to be eligible for prizes, choose a package and please return attached form with check (made out to Chadron Public Schools) as soon as possible. Last day to order will be Friday, April 12, 2019.  All MMC gear will be handed out as soon as we get them.  **New design and color (black/silver)

Some specifics about the Morning Marathon Club:

• Each student MUST have a signed permission form before participating (& $10 to be eligible for prizes-scholarships available for those in need).
• Comfortable school clothes and sport shoes are appropriate for running.
• Parents and Staff are welcome (and encouraged!) to join in!
• Students in first grade and older may run unaccompanied.  Kindergarten students need a parent with them for (at least) the first day.
• ALL students MUST check in at the press box at the High School Track before they can count laps!
• ALL students may begin any time between 7:10 and 7:25.  No runners may begin after 7:25.  
• ALL students MUST check out before leaving track, or laps will not be counted!  Primary students will not be allowed to leave track until 7:40 unless with a parent/guardian.
• CIS students will be dismissed from track at 7:35 to allow time to travel to school.
• ALL STUDENTS will be dismissed from the track at 7:40.  
• In case of bad weather, MMC will be cancelled.  I will send a Remind Notification by 6:45a.m. (text @morningmar to 81010 to sign up! Or to receive messages via email, send an email to morningmar@mail.remind.com.)
• General guidelines for cancellation will be wind chill below 15 degrees, rain, snow, or wind gusts over 35 mph.

• This program relies on a large number of parent volunteers.  The track will be supervised daily by VOLUNTEERS.  We need you! It’s a great way to start the day with your kids!  If you have questions or would like to volunteer please contact Mrs. Rischling @ 430-4122.
