Spring Road Students and Staff Compete in Fox Cities 5K
< Back
A running club at Spring Road Elementary School in Neenah helped over 30 students taking part in running events last weekend in the Fox Cities.
The school had about 20 students and 20 staff and parents participate in the Fox Cities 5K event on Sept. 21. Meanwhile, 14 other students ran in the kids’ fun runs at Fox Cities Stadium on Sept. 20.
Wellness teacher RoxAnn Barrow and first grade teacher Diane Luft started the running club at Spring Road last August. The club is for students in grades 3-5 and promotes a healthy lifestyle with the goal of participating in one of the Fox Cities Marathon weekend events. The club met twice a week for four weeks.
The hard work paid off as three students went home with awards. Jackson Berendes won the boys 1-9 age group, while Sylvia Dums placed first and Lindsey Jones placed second in the girls 1-9 age group. In addition, Mrs. Luft placed third in her age group.
The 3.1-mile race started and finished at Riverside Park in Neenah. |
