Km Club  |  Elementary School Program

This aik program enables kids, Kindergarten – Grade 7, to run with an organized group.  The program was designed to encourage kids to be active and healthy while giving them a sense of purpose through giving.  Each week the kids meet for an organized run of 1-3km on a marked route within the schoolyard.  The children are encouraged to bring a small donation each week to donate to Children’s Hospital.   

The KM Club is a year round (Sept-June) parent volunteer led program.  In the past we have put together a scrapbook of “Why I run for you” pictures, poems, notes and artwork for the Oncology/Hematology Department at Vancouver Children’s Hospital.  The children love to be part of a healthy giving program and take pride in their milestones and achievements.
