the school's 520 students
participate in the club each
day it takes place.
"Almost everybody (in
the school) has done at
least one lap," Clark said.
For overy 2 miles a stu-
dent runs, he or she gets
a foot shaped pendant. If
a student runs a full mile
in one day, which Clark
said is difficult consider-
ing the students gener-
ally only have 10 to 15
minutes to run, they get
a pendant shaped like .a
runner.
"If you watch our stu-
dents, a lot of them are
wearing necklaces with
tokens on them," He said.
"They're very proud of it."
Students from Kinder-
garten through fifth grade
participate in the lap club.
While the younger stu-
dents can only run a lap
at a time, many of the fifth
graders make it several
laps around Loop Field
each lap day.
"We have some really
~ii i!~iiiiiiii iii!iiii~2!;i !ii!i Slie~iii~iii:i;10f i!~!Cana~i! iil i
good runners," Clark said.
Before coming to Shel-
ton, Clark ran a similar
intramural program while
teaching P.E. in Albuquer-
que, N.M. Students have
the opportunity to spend
their short recess after
lunch at several other in-
tramural programs run
through the school's music
and library departments.
The lap club isn't the
only activity at Evergreen
designed to make exercise
fun. On Nov. 21, all of Ev-
ergreen's students partici-
pated in the annual Tur-
key Trot.
"A lot of students really
look forward to the Turkey
Trot," Clark said.
During the annual trot,
Clark dresses up as a tur-
key, while classes race af-
ter him. In each class, the
top boy and girl winners
get turkeys to take home,
while second, third and
fourth place runners get a
chicken, a game hen, and a
dozen eggs, respectively.
"Some of the students
have been running their
laps at lap club because
they want to do well in the
Turkey Trot," he said.
While the Turkey Trot is
a race, and many students
work hard to win, Clark
said he tries to stress that
competing and trying your
best is more important
than taking home the prize
"turkey, or even the eggs,
for that matter.
"It doesn't have to be a
race," he said. ~'I don't want
them to be disappointed.
Be proud of yourself for
doing your best whatever
place you take."
