Students from all grades are welcome to meet on the lower yard every school morning (weather permitting from 8 am until 5 minutes before their class starts to run laps and earn rewards.
The Madera Running Club is gearing up for another great year and we need your help starting Monday, September 8th!
We’re looking for volunteers to support our student runners from 7:45am to 8:30am. Volunteers help track laps, scan barcodes, and cheer students on. Even helping just one morning a week makes a big difference!
Without enough volunteer support, we may not be able to continue club activities on certain days—so your participation matters!
Your time and effort will help keep this wonderful program running for our students!
