Race Opportunity - PI Day 5K 2020

The PI Day 5k is put on by a group of 5th graders.  Click Here to Register  

Background on the race:

In the past 5 years Leonardo Da Vinci Pi Race has donated $83,000 dollars to Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity. This local affiliate has built 114 homes for deserving families to date and in 2019 will complete 5 more. All Habitat partner families pay for their homes, but are provided an interest free mortgage. Home costs are kept low as many volunteers assist Habitat in building the homes. It is our hope that this charitable run program will instill in our philanthropic minded students that giving back to your community is important and necessary for our community. We request that the proceeds from our race go to families that have children in the Green Bay School District.

PI Day Run/Walk:

The Leonardo da Vinci School (Green Bay’s school for Gifted Learners) Race Board is planning it's fifth annual Pi Day Run. We are going to continue taking on initiatives to have an impact that makes a difference. We are Altruistic - We give back to the community. The run will take place in Green Bay and be open to the public. This project is being organized by fifth graders, who will work out all the details of the race from designing the t-shirt , creating sponsorship levels, meeting with city and county officials, mapping out the race route, signing up runners, voting on a charity along with all race day details.

Time to dust off the running shoes and come train for the Cellcom 5K with the Lannoye Runner's Club!

Hello all! We hope that you will find our Lannoye Runner's Club blog to be an informational tool for you. You will find our training calendar, run information, pictures, and more all in one place! If you'd like to receive email notifications when we post a new blog entry, please add your email to the "Follow by email" area on the right hand sidebar.

Important Information about the 
Lannoye Runner's Club 

• Training is open to students in grades 3, 4, and 5. Permission slips must be returned before students will be allowed to train with the group. 
• Training runs will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school at 3:50. PLEASE be sure to send a note to your child's teacher stating they are staying for running club. 
• We encourage parents and family members to train with us. The more adults we have running with the kids...the better, so if you are able, come and join us even if it's just once in awhile! We're always looking for a few adults to help out at the back of the group with our younger kiddos and slower paced runners.
• Pick up times vary from week to week depending on our mileage. Please check the training calendar for pick up times and be punctual in picking your child up. For safety reasons, parents are asked to come into school to pick their child up. 
• Respectful, responsible and safe behavior is expected during training. Unsafe or disrespectful behavior will result in a phone call home. Repeat occurrences will result in students needing to train on their own at home.
• Dress appropriately for the weather as we do run outside (sweatpants and jackets will likely be needed these first couple of weeks) 
• We run rain or shine
• Students are required to stay for post-run stretching

Our group will be training for the Cellcom 5K which is 3.1 miles. If your child isn’t interested in doing the actual race, they are still more than welcome to come and train with us on Tuesdays and Thursdays. For those interested in running the Bellin 10K (6.2 miles), a training schedule will be provided with mileage recommendations so you can continue to train on your own.

#RaiderStrong Runners!

Our Lannoye runners did an amazing job at the Cellcom 5K on Saturday. If you are interested in finding out your child's chip time, you can click on the results page and search by their name or bib number. You can also scan the QR code on their race bib with a QR Reader (my favorite QR reader is I-nigma which is free in the app store).

Here are some pics from our day....

 

Hitting the trail

We finally made it out to the school forest on Tuesday! The trails were a little soft in a few spots but you can see by the smiles that everyone had a great run.

A great night for a run!

It was a little cool this evening, but it was a great night for a run. We are now up to 2 miles and will continue to increase our mileage over the next couple of weeks to prepare ourselves for the Cellcom which will be 3.1 miles. 

Tonight, students collected playing cards at each 1/2 mile checkpoint and then were able to redeem their cards for prizes for highest hand, lowest hand, a hand with a pair of doubles, etc. It was a fun way to motivate and engage our runners! 

We are looking for small prizes to use for our running games over the next few weeks. If you would be willing to donate any items, it would be greatly appreciated. Some simple ideas: gum, individually wrapped snacks, pencils, flavor packets for water... you name it! Feel free to send items to school with your child and  bring them to Miss K, Mrs.Gloe or Mrs. Malchow.

Also, a quick reminder that with our increased mileage the next few weeks, our pick up time is now 5:00pm
