Flyers run because ...

The Findley Flyer runners are making it happen once again on the track this year!  There’s something about running and moving that the children love.  In fact, at the last assembly, we asked the children why they run?   These are some of the things they said:  

• “When you run, (it) makes a smile.”  2^nd grader
• “I run because I want to get to 26.2 (marathon).”  4^th grader
• “It helps train for sports such as gymnastics and soccer and sports I do.”  3^rd grader
• “Gives you lots of energy and makes you feel very strong.”  1^st grader
• “Its fun to do with friends.” 1^st grader
• “It makes you feel powerful!”  1^st grader
• “Exercise”  1^st, 2^nd graders
• “Because it’s fun!”  1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd, and 4^th graders

Getting out there on Tuesdays at lunch and Thursdays before school is not only fun, it’s good for their brains!  Check out this article in the New York Times for more information:
