9:00 AM - 5 mile Run

9:10 AM - 2 mile Run/Walk 

Organized by the Oak Hills PTO  this is a community Fun Run and a 100% charitable event with a suggested donation of $2 (donated to the Philippine Disaster Relief Efforts as voted on by the Oak HIlls students) plus 2 cans of food per runner (donated to the Beaverton Elks Pantry). 

A bunch of turkeys running and walking the streets of Oak Hills -- sounds like a great way to give thanks together, Flyers!

Where in the World is Athlone, Ireland?

The miles are adding up for the Findley Flyers!  Did you know, combined with the Dragon Dash, 798 kids ran a total of 4,575 miles around the track so far this year? That is all the way from Portland, Oregon to Athlone, Ireland.  See the Flyers in action in the October Assembly Slideshow. 

You can find your child’s name on the Findley Flyer bulletin board at school, click here for the October report, or ask how far they have run.  Another fun question to ask your child is how they feel when they run/walk around the track?  What does it feel like after they are done?  We are interested in their answer!

Rain Plan for Thursday mornings

If raining or there is a soggy track, we will be under the cover running, walking, skipping, and jumping our laps, so no one gets wet and we still have fun exercising together.  5 minutes running = 2 laps  5 minutes walking = 1 lap
