KP Recess Running Club: Every Wednesday

If you volunteer at recess on a Wednesday and the field is open, you may get to help out with Recess Running Club!

1. The Running Club Coordinator will bring the necessary materials - charms, markers, and cones - to the field.

2. Head out to the field and set-up the cones. The loop starts and ends by the playground equipment (by tree). Kids run behind the backstop near the playground equipment then head out to far corner straight by fence. Place a cone in corner. The next cone goes back where the baseball field and black top meet. Kids should stay along the outside of ball field and not go around the back. The last cone goes by the side walk on the way back to the playground.

3. Set up the container on the pavement near the front of the shed near the playground.

4. If the kids are waiting to get started running, you can lead them in some fun warm-up exercises. Then, start them running in groups staggered to prevent tripping and pushing.

5. Each time a child completes a lap his/her hand will be marked. Children receive a charm or prize for the following laps completed per age group:

6. After the last recess ends, assist the Running Club Coordinator in packing up the supplies and returning the cones.

Conflict Resolution Tips for volunteers

Resolving conflicts between students at school can be challenging! With that in mind, our school counselor Mrs. Wert hosts training sessions for volunteers from time to time. Look for announcements about these training sessions, or see below for a video and notes from the most recent session.
