Ready, Set, Run 

The first practice will be held Thursday, April 20th. Each practice will run from 3:00 - 4:00. We will have practice every Thursday from April 20th until June 1st. We will NOT have practice on April 27th as this is April Vacation. 
  • Students should wear clothes that they would feel comfortable wearing to PE. This means sneakers and either pants or shorts. Each student should also bring a water bottle and a sweatshirt.  We would like to be outside as often as possible but will still hold practice indoors if it rains. At the first practice, students will be assigned to specific classrooms and can be picked up at this room each week.
  • The program costs $35 and includes a lot! Participants receive a t-shirt, medal, finisher’s certificate and other cool handouts.  There are many scholarships available for this program. Please email tessa.warren@colchestersd.org for information regarding a scholarship.
