🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ RUNNING AT RECESS IS BACK — AND WE NEED YOU! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

9/2/2026 8:54 pm

Every Friday when school is in session, Clermont students in K–6th grade have the opportunity to get moving during recess by running, walking, skipping, hopping, or even cartwheeling their way around the upper field!

Throughout the year, students will earn incentives for reaching lap milestones. At the end of the school year, we’ll recognize the top 5 lap earners in each grade and the top 5 school-wide. Students who complete 131 laps during the school year will also earn our special “Marathoner” Award! 🏅

We need volunteers! ❤️

Volunteers help:
• Oversee students during each recess
• Pass out lap sticks and water
• Track completed laps
• Help clean up after the final recess

You can sign up for one Friday, one recess, or as many slots as you'd like. Every bit of help makes a difference!

⭐ Co-Director Needed!

We're also looking for a Co-Director to help lead Running at Recess throughout the year. This person will help with program coordination and field set-up. It's a great opportunity to get involved in a fun program and help our students stay active!

And let's be honest—volunteering is a pretty great way to witness your child and their friends in the wild. 😂

Thank you for helping make Running at Recess a success! 🦅❤️🤍💙
