Dear Parents/ Carers,
You may have heard of the Shropshire Primary Schools Half Marathon. It is where children aged between 4-11 take part in a running challenge.
We have entered our school for this event. The idea is that our children (from Dragonflies and Kingfishers) run several miles in school over the next few weeks. The finishing event is on Saturday 12th April at the West Mid Showground where the children will run just over a mile to complete the challenge. Parents will need to accompany their children to this event. You will be met by myself on arrival.
The event is an inclusive challenge with the children developing healthy habits to exercise regularly, under no pressure to compete and at the same time complete something challenging. This will be a wonderful confidence boost for everyone involved and a major achievement. It will be lots of fun too!
If your child would like to participate, could you pay £5 via Arbor by the 1st March? We are subsidising the fees to get as many children involved as we can. The children will be provided with a t-shirt and a race number for the event.
