11 weeks left ... to meet your goals

Spring is all around us, it’s getting warmer and the flowers are blooming while our legs keep running. Join your friends on Tuesday,  March 17th for our very own Findley Flyers Find the Shamrock Run. See if you can find and count the number of lucky Shamrocks hanging around the Findley track during your grade’s lunch recess. 

There are 11 weeks left of running club, so stay committed to your goal -- whether that is 1 lap a week, or 1 marathon by the end of the year. 

Season of marathoners

The season of marathoners  crossing the finish line has arrived.  

With three weeks left, the children know how many laps or miles they run in a week and are calculating when they will meet their goals. Most will reach their goal before the end of the year! Thanks to a dedicated group of encouraging training partners, parents, siblings, teachers and flyer friends.  

To celebrate our last days running and walking together this year, come join us the last week of running club, Tuesday, June 2nd and/or Thursday, June 4th, during our regularly scheduled times for the Findley Flyers Flip Flop Fun Run. You can try to say that five times fast!  It is our way to say, congratulations on another fun year of run club, goodbye to any old running shoes, and hello to summer sandals and flip flops. 

Enjoy your last miles and laps with your Flyer friends!!! 

NOTE: 

—  If you have any old running shoes that are getting too small, children or adult sizes, bring a pair to donate to the collection bin.

—  Running in flip flops is not advised. Please wear appropriate running shoes, or walk. 

— There will be no running club on June 9th and 11th. 

Where in the World ...

... Are the Findley Flyers?


Hint: We headed North and together have run almost 4,000 total miles.


P.S. Ask your Flyer for the location. They found out during Friday's (2/6) assembly.

3,937 miles by 429 runners and walkers

The Findley Flyers are flying along this year, running 3,937 miles so far!!!  429 runners and walkers joined us over the past two months to continue to run towards their goals. 

On of our themes this year is "How Far Will You Go?"  Ask your child what they like about moving, how far they have run, and if they have set a Findley Flyer goal.  Is it a half marathon, 13 miles?  Is it a 10 mile token?  Or do they want to run a marathon?   On thing is for certain, they are working hard out there and in the process, learning that moving is fun!

And the results are in.....
