As part of our ‘Active School’s Week’ initiative and in an attempt to highlight the importance of physical exercise for children, Scoil na Mainistreach has teamed up with the globally-renowned ‘parkrun’ running event. Castletown parkrun takes place every Saturday morning at 9:30 a.m. and their Event Director, Sharon Ashmore has kindly invited the parents and boys of 4th, 5th and 6th class to join them for a ‘children-friendly’ parkrun on Saturday 14th May. We are very excited to have this opportunity and look forward to lots of our students participating in this free event alongside their parents/guardians. We hope to have lots of our boys (accompanied by a guardian if under 11) at this event. If you wish to take part in this event, please follow these steps:
If you or your child are unable/prefer not to enter the event, it would be great if you could volunteer instead. parkrun is a community-based initiative and its success depends on the support of volunteers. In order to make this a children’s parkrun, Sharon Ashmore has asked that we provide 10 children (with parents) who will act as volunteers on the morning if they prefer not to run the 5k. So all support would be greatly appreciated. If you can volunteer, please make sure that you register with parkrun and email [email protected] to express an interest in volunteering. Looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday 14th May (arrive early to warm-up).
