Eagle Fliers is a PTA-sponsored running program for 3rd through 5th graders. Students in Kindergarten through 2nd grade may enroll in the program if a parent or guardian volunteers at the weekly practices and if space is available.
Eagle Fliers participants meet every Tuesday after school and participate in various running activities, including team races, relay competitions, and individual runs. The goal of the program is not to be the fastest runner, but to encourage kids to enjoy the outdoors and have fun exercising with their friends, while increasing endurance for a 5K run. The Eagle Fliers program begins in February and concludes with a 5K race just before the Spring Fling.
All student participating in the Eagle Fliers program are expected to attend weekly practices and compete in the 5k in April. Please ensure the dates below work with your schedule prior to registering.
