• Please contact schweglermarathonclub@gmail.com or Amy Shellhorn at AShellho@usd497.org if you are interested in helping with Marathon Club.  Thank you for a great fall semester of Marathon Club. We are done for the season. We will run or walk on the back playground or in the gym on Friday mornings from 7:45 until 8:30 am starting back up in the Spring of 2025. No Marathon Club on Fridays that we are off of school.  Thank you to all our volunteers who make it possible to run Marathon Club, especially Kaci Haney. 

     
     
     
    Marathon Club means that all students and families are invited to run (or walk) around the cement trail on the edge of the playground during club.  Each participant will have their own scanning card and laps will be tracked. Awards will be given at the end of the semester.  Please feel free to join anytime. 
    Please visit our facebook page at www.facebook.com/groups/schweglermarathonclub for updates and more information.

    The goal of Marathon Club is to provide a sustainable fitness opportunity for Schwegler students and their families.  It encourages kids to challenge themselves to complete the goal of walking or running a mile or more once per week throughout the remainder of the school year.  All mileage is tracked when students attend.  After a student completes a full marathon, they earn a Marathon Club t-shirt, have their name read with the morning announcements, and get their picture posted on a wall in the gym.  In addition to these tangible awards, Marathon Club hopes to:

    *Promote lifelong wellness *Provide students a sense of accomplishment * Improve concentration in the classroom * Create a fun, non-competitive atmosphere for all participants.
