The Mount Hope Elementary Run Club takes place every morning before the start of school. As kids arrive at school and finish their breakfast, they are allowed into the gym for morning walking or running laps. Whenever they’re ready to join, they follow short warmup instructions provided by P.E. Teacher, Fred Burton. When time is up, all students sit together for some cool down stretches.
Mount Hope Elementary teacher, Clifford Sullivan, explained how the morning laps helps the kids get their morning jitters out and, in turn, helps improve their focus and behavior during the day.
