Findley Flyers in February?

You may be wondering how many children are running with the Findley Flyers.  We were!  So we counted our cards and found out.  355 Findley Flyers ran during the winter month of February!   So far this year, we have run 7007 miles!

The children learned in the assembly today how many miles each grade has run, how many marathoners per grade (medal count), and how many children are participating the in Flyers.  We reminded them to focus on their goal, whether it is running a half marathon (13 miles) or marathon (26 miles), or just enjoying being out there, or committing to run with us every Tuesday and Thursday.  We discussed how it takes commitment and time to reach their goals, but they can do it and have fun while they try!  We have about 11 weeks left.  If your child runs 4 laps every week, that’s 11 miles!  Where will they go from here!?

Volunteers needed to keep running club's 355 runners going strong!

Last month, 355 kids participated in the Findley Flyers running club!   These kids are so enthusiastic and extremely proud of their accomplishments.  We have 30 marathoners so far and more on their way! 


To keep this momentum, we really need more parent volunteers.  We are so thankful for our trusted crew who show up to make it all happen.  We could use you too!   Starting tomorrow!  Sign up for an hour time slot on Tuesdays or contact findleyflyers@gmail.com to find ways you can help.  At lease three volunteers are needed in every one hour time slot to run the club in a safe and effective way.   We have fun, get things done, and encourage children to move, all at the same time!  Join us!
