Wellington El Joins In Read, Run & Recycle

The Wellington Elementary School Running Club displays its banner before the race.

On Jan. 13, the South Florida Fair hosted the Read, Run & Recycle Kids Mile Run. The Wellington Elementary School Running Club was proud to participate in the run. The club meets before school a few times a week and trains for runs like this one. Ronda Wayne has been heading up the club for many years now and enjoys watching the students take an active role in exercising to stay healthy. Club members learn the proper warm-up techniques along with selecting healthy food choices. All the runners completed the race, some in record-breaking times.
