Crocker Runners

Crocker students are learning goal setting, perseverance, good health habits and a love of running through Crocker Cruisers!

Students run (or walk) during their lunch recess on Tuesdays and Thursdays to accumulate miles towards their marathon.  Parent volunteers punch cards, hand out charms and cheer on the runners.  Ask your student what colored card they are on or what charm they are working towards at home.

As students progress, they earn more charms with the goal of achieving a marathon by the end of the school years and earning a new shirt.  At the end of November 2021, we had a total of 64 students who had already completed their marathon and one student who had completed TWO!

We celebrate our marathon finishers with a year end picnic and awards that include real marathon medals and shirts with the catchphrase "I ran a marathon!" and additional prizes for multiple marathons.

Teachers have reported that on Crocker Cruiser days, the students come back to class more focused and ready to work.  We are so lucky to have this opportunity for our students and hope that you are able to volunteer sometime! Weather permitting, Crocker Cruisers is every Tuesday and Thursday in the fall and spring from 10:15 AM - 1:25 PM with 2 volunteer shifts - pick the one that works best for you!  This program is 100% driven by volunteers and the giggles and smiles make it well worth it!!
