March 2017

Dear Parents,

The Running Club will begin on Thursday, April 6th at 3:30 and conclude on Thursday,
June 1st. The team is open to any interested boy or girl in Grades 5 through 8. Practices will
be on Thursdays.

The goal of the running club is help foster a lifelong love of physical fitness. It is open to all
levels of runners and no prior running experience is needed. The workouts will be along the
Hudson River Park Greenway. We will begin each run at the Christopher St. pier and
conclude finish by returning to the pier. Students will vary distances from 2 to 3 miles each
session. Walking is allowed.

Students who participate in after-school sports are expected to keep up with all homework
assignments and academic responsibilities. If playing on a team seems to be causing
academic difficulties, parents will be contacted and the situation will be evaluated.

Please fill out the attached permission slip and read the team expectations carefully. Please
return the form by Friday, May 17, 2017.

We look forward to a great season.

Thank you.
