I am starting a running club for the first time at EES. Running is a great activity that keeps students healthy throughout their entire lives but it also teaches them many important life skills. Skills such as patience, teamwork, goal setting and believing in yourself. My objective is to help students learn how to set high goals and that by working together as a team and never giving up they can accomplish anything in life. Working as a team training for a 5K run they will learn that they are not on their own and that we are all here for support and guidance to help them reach their goal. We will not only learn how to physically get prepared but how we prepare mentally and as a team by being supportive and positive. The prizes will be additional little incentives that they can earn as they reach their running goals as they prepare over the 3 months for the final goal of completing a 5K run.
