Hello Cardinals!
We’re excited to announce a new season of Clayton Run Club! For those unfamiliar with Run Club, it is a 100% volunteer-led after school activity where we record the number of laps completed around the Clayton track and students get small prizes at certain milestones. Your child does not need to be a star athlete to participate, the only requirement is that they keep moving! Run Club is open to all Kinder-5th grade Clayton students and meets every Wednesday (weather permitting) starting immediately after school until 4pm.
Registration is limited to the first 90 runners so don’t delay! This year, we’re allowing for Fall AND Spring registration; however, payment for both semesters is due at the time of registration and will not be refundable if you choose not to continue. Yes, there will be another opportunity to register in the Spring if you want to wait and see how it goes.
Registration & Payment
Fee: We ask for a $40 donation per child per semester to cover Run Club t-shirts, treats, prizes, and special events. Venmo to @Matthew-Jaffee-1 and please note Child’s Name(s) - Run Club Registration.
Communication
We’ll be using Remind for all Run Club communication this year. Get important updates about practice schedules, weather cancellations, and event reminders.
Two ways to join:
- Visit remind.com/join/claytonrun
- Text @claytonrun to 81010
Volunteer Opportunities
Run Club is 100% volunteer based and cannot operate without your help! The track is a rocky, uneven trail behind the school, so we need enough volunteers to maintain good supervision and scan laps for all the kids. With the exception of lap scanners, all volunteers (and awesome cheerleader families) are welcome to walk or run along with the kids! Can’t help in person? No problem, we’ve got other ways to help.
T-Shirts
Your child has an opportunity to help design this year’s Run Club t-shirt. Create your designs at Custom Ink. Please submit designs to claytonrunclub+shirt@gmail.com.
Pickup
Pickup is at 4 o’clock sharp. If you are routinely late for pickup, you’ll be asked to make other arrangements or leave run club.
Weather
In the event of bad weather or poor track conditions, we’ll notify the contacts we have on file at least 24 hours before the start of run club to cancel. If unsafe weather develops within the 24 hour period, we’ll notify as soon as possible, and keep the students inside until they can be picked up.
