Harstine Island Rd. N. Shelton, WA 98584 "~ (360) 427-4466 't~°°~ www.wildfelids.org ~ 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."
