New York Roadrunners

Our school works with an organization called New York Roadrunners (nyrr.org). This organization works with schools to promote healthy living through running. They sponsor field trips that PS 205 has gone on it the past and will continue to do so. In addition, they offer opportunities to families outside of the school setting.

Each month I add up each students laps that they have finished during our 5-10 minute jog/walk at the beginning of class. These laps are then input into a computer (strides.nyrr.org). Parents can find out how their child is doing by checking on the website. Each student is given a username and password. I have this information and will pass it along to students/parents if they ask.

I encourage students to not only jog/walk in school, but to continue at home with family and friends.
