The Springdale students have been hard at work this week getting ready for the Springdale Sprint!  There are a lot of great runners in this school!

     Grades 3-5 have the options of walking lanes, jogging lanes, and a distance lane.  In the distance lane the students will be paced by Mr. Gruetzner or Ms. Janda.  They will run at least 2 miles, but maybe more.  12 laps around the track is equal to 1 mile.  We had some 5th graders this week who ran 3 miles during their gym class!

     The lower grades will show off their fitness through various locomotor skills (running, walking, skipping, sliding, galloping).

    It's going to be a great day.  The kids are very excited to run and race. 

     All parents are invited to participate with their children.  It will be very special for them to have you exercise with them.

     Please remember that all students should wear appropriate footwear for running.
