Fall Km Club

Kilometer Club is back by popular demand! This fall we are conducting a 5-week run/walk program around McLean Park, at the Port Coquitlam campus, starting Monday September 17 and going until Wednesday, October 24.  Runs will take place Mondays and Wednesdays after school, as well as Tuesdays at lunch. This will also serve as a training run for the grade 4-7 students participating in the Cross Country Track Meet (October 25). Middle school students are invited to participate and can ask either their home room teacher or the office for a permission form.

About 15-20 volunteers are needed each day for the running of this event.  If your child is participating, it is strongly encouraged that caregivers volunteer a minimum of three times throughout the duration of the season. Volunteers are needed to: set up, hand out wristbands, conduct warm-ups, be course spotters, stamp and/or tally laps, clean up, run concession. (Please note, Tuesday volunteers require a completed Criminal Record Check to be on file with the school office.)

Your time spent helping with the Km Club counts towards the Parent Volunteer Hours.

To volunteer please see the following link: Km Club Volunteer
