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!
