Run Club
Run club is open to all students and will meet every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday except when it is too cold or raining. When the campus gate opens at 7:30 a.m., head to the back field to run some laps at a moderate pace for 15 minutes before school. You must bring a water bottle to participate.
Returning Run Club members will have their cards printed out on carts when you arrive. New members will have to set up a card to scan as they track their laps. The first few meetings are going to be a little chaotic because kids will need some individualized help to get started. New and shy kids might want to wait a couple of weeks until things are running smoothly.
Run Club does not fill up, so come when you can. Mr. Armstrong will keep track of your miles and tell you how many you did at the end of the school year.
Run Club could use several registered volunteers everyday from 7:20 a.m. -8:00 a.m. each day. If you are an approved volunteer, contact Kim Self at kimberlypas@yahoo.com with questions about volunteering for run club.

You do not need to be a registered volunteer to attend the meetings. We welcome your ideas.
Some of our interesting projects for this year include planning school murals and the fun run.
Kindergarten/First Grade Playground Update
Last Friday Dr. Braga sent out a last minute plea for volunteers to come to the school for a couple of hours to help PTO/Dad's Club make it possible for the kindergarten/1st grade playground to open. The playground was closed in preparation of the school district installing rubberized tiles to the area, but the process was taking longer than expected. The playground needed to be weeded, mulch redistributed etc.
We had great success thanks to all the volunteers who helped out last minute and in the heat! The Playground opened Monday thanks to all the volunteers. We greatly appreciate all of your time and effort. Just imagine all those kindergarten and 1st grade smiles! Extra thanks to the King family for the playground mulch contribution.
Picture Day Volunteers Needed
Picture Day is September 14th for Indialantic Elementary School!
Please consider volunteering to help at picture day. Kindergarten will be the first up for their photos and then the grades continue with 6th grade at the end of the day. Please sign up using the link below if you would like to volunteer. Must be an approved district volunteer.
