Dear Parents:

This year the Dorothy Lynas Kilometre Club will be officially “off and running” on Wednesday, May 4th. The

children will be supervised by parent volunteers while running around the perimeter of our path in the District park

located west of our school from 8:10 to 8:40 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. This year’s season will

end on Wednesday, June 8th.

It’s great to see the enthusiasm of the students participating in the Kilometre Club. In the spirit of encouraging the

students to incorporate exercise into their day, both at home and at school, we would like to include walking to and

from school in the calculating of kms. This seems only fair since some students walk long distances rather than get

a ride. Rollerblading and cycling will however not be considered as completing kilometers. We would appreciate

a note signed by a parent indicating the number of kms walked/run outside of school.

Don’t forget to have your child bring a water bottle since students have to wait until the bell rings before going into

the Annex or the Main School.

For those of you who are “new” to our “club” this year, here’s how it works: All Primary students are invited to run

laps around our “park loop” by the playground. We measured that one kilometre equals 4 laps around the loop. As

the students complete one lap they receive a “specially marked” popsicle stick. When they have completed 4 laps

they may trade in their popsicle sticks for a km paper. It is the student’s responsibility to hold onto their sticks until

they complete that kilometre, and to hold onto any km papers until they have been recorded onto a classroom chart.

Students will be rewarded with a special ribbon for every 25 kms they complete. Please remember, the km club

does not operate in rainy weather.

At this time we are asking any interested parents to come forward and become involved in our Kilometre Club. We

would need you to assist with supervision during morning running sessions by handing out popsicle sticks and km

papers, and cheering them on! Please indicate below if you are able to help out, and return the form by Friday,

April 29th to the office.

PS: You can visit

and (after registering for free) you can easily plan/map walks with your

child and the site will auto calculate the distance travelled. The map tool even calculates distances on many of the

North Shore trails.
