Boys on the run
Engaging in physical activity
To help encourage healthier lifestyles, we provide support to some of the school clubs and programs. Although there was an already established Girls on the Run national program, a similar boys club was missing. With the help of the school staff and our volunteers with past experience, we were able to begin a similar club.
focusing on technique
Teaching how to properly run and breathe when attempting larger distances is one of the goals we have with the students that are part of Boys on the Run. In time we hope to attempt to run a 5K with the kids, their families, and the broader CMS Community School family.
working with school staff
Working with the school principle and physical education teacher, we are able to have fun with the kids and hopefully teach them life long skills when it comes to running.
building a community
As we reach out to more students and our club gets bigger, we hope that we can have a community run to celebrate how far the students have come in their ventures and raise awareness about simple ways to improve the overall health of the community.
