Last week, first through fifth-grade Run Club students closed out the year with some incredible achievements.
The elementary running club is the brain-child of Mrs. Alea Jaeger, elementary physical education teacher. Runners in The Fast Feet Tigers (the 2026 Club name) can choose to run during recess. They track their laps via a scanning card that Mrs. Jaeger created. Students earn special tokens for every five miles they run and special awards at 25-mile marks.
Four students ran over fifty miles this year, and first-grade student Atlas Schafer achieved something truly remarkable: a hundred miles throughout the school year. Atlas has enjoyed his membership in the running club so much that he has now shared with his mother that he hopes to train for a 5K.
