Every Tuesday and Thursday after school during the month of May, the "May Movers" hit the trail behind the elementary school. This group of runners, composed of students in grades 1-4, runs over a mile and then plays structured games such as Sharks and Minnows, What Time Is It, Mr. Fox, and Red Light, Green Light. The club was started last year as an after-school activity to get kids outside and active. Since its inception, the group has doubled in size, now boasting 53 participants.  On June 2, family and friends gathered to cheer on our second annual Fun Run.
