RES Walking Club

Last week, we wrapped up Walking Club for the year! Thank you to all the kids for putting in the effort and burning up some energy before school! The benefits of exercise before school are endless! And thank you to the volunteers who made it possible for the PTA to provide this activity for the kids!

This was the most active group we have ever had in my 15 years here! We had 160 kids participate … and half of them had at least 50 laps! We ended up with 27 kids getting 100 or more laps…and 2 kids getting over 200!! Colton ended up smashing the 10 year old record with 276 laps! Here are a couple pictures to wrap up the year of the 100 lap club (plus Asher, Owen and Sydney, who are not pictured, sorry!) as well as our Two 200 lap kids!

Good luck next year to the fifth graders … we will miss them! Some of these kids, I have been seeing out there for 6 years!  Hopefully we will see the rest of you in the fall! Enjoy your summer! Stay active! Keep an eye out for the card, ribbon, and a healthy reward coming home in Tuesday folders! 

Thanks for another great year!!
Thank you Adventure Landing Raleigh for your healthy fun donation!
