We are starting a daily fitness running club, "Tiger Trot." This will begin Monday, September 8th, 2014. School running clubs get kids motivated, fit, and ready to learn. Please get your students to school at 7:30 a.m. every day to participate in our "Tiger Trot." Your efforts and theirs will pay off. You will see your students) make great progress in their running and fitness while enjoying the time in the morning with their friends.

When your child enters Grady they will be directed to:

• The Field for Tiger Trot
• Cafeteria for breakfast
• I-station Lab (I-station lab students will participate in running club on Fridays only)

*Students will no longer be permitted in their homeroom class until 7:50 a.m. this .will give your students) plenty of time to complete their morning procedures and be ready for the academic day at 8:00 a.m.

Why Run? There is mounting evidence that exercise prior to classroom work is extremely beneficial for elementary school children. Students may learn better and be more focused, behavioral issues could diminish, and they may achieve higher test scores and gain self-esteem. We encourage you to jumpstart your children's day by allowing them to participate in Tiger Trot.

*No running club if it rains or if the field is too wet*
