The Galileo Running & Walking Club is a fitness activity available to all students at Galileo. Students can walk or run laps on Tuesdays and Thursdays during their lunch recess.* Each lap is recorded to track how many miles each student completes. There are prizes earned every 5 miles completed. At the end of the year, there are rewards for students who achieve 25, 50, 75, and 100+ milestones. It is a great opportunity for students to improve their fitness and for parent volunteers to see their students during those afternoons.
* The Running and Walking Club offers make-up sessions for kids missing in-school running/walking due to GT, vacation or sickness. Set a timer for 25 minutes and let them run/walk. Just make sure you have a way to record total distance. When complete, fill out this form.
