Running Club is BACK!

All Johnson students, Pre-K- 5, are invited to participate. The goal of Johnson Running Club is to promote healthy lifestyles and physical activity. We want to encourage children to have fun while running. Maybe your child is an avid runner or maybe he/she would just like a fun thing to do after school. It will give your child the opportunity to meet more children from our school and community and is designed to be a self-esteem builder, giving students the feeling of achievement when they finish a run and challenging them to improve with each run.

Students must be in good standings with the school to participate. If a student misses more than half of the school day, they will not be able to participate. 

We will meet on Thursdays after school from 3:15-4:15 PM, starting April 3rd and end Thursday, May 15th. All students will need a new permission slip. Go to the Johnson website, the link in the newsletter, or the front entryway and turn it in to Ms. Kaiser, PE Teacher. 

***Running Club will be canceled for rain /lightning- you will be notified by 1 pm

***Pre-K, K, 1st, 2nd must have a parent or guardian present

Students need PE shoes, comfortable clothes, and a water bottle.

Help Wanted: New Bike Racks in 2024

As we strive to create a safe and enriching environment for our students, we are reaching out to you with an exciting opportunity to contribute to the

well-being of our school community.

Johnson Parent Teacher Organization is currently working on a project to purchase new bike racks for our school premises. Encouraging students to bike to school not only promotes a healthy and active lifestyle but also has numerous benefits for our community and the environment. Here are a few reasons why supporting this initiative is crucial:



Promoting Health and Well-being: Biking is a fantastic way for students to stay physically active. By providing sufficient bike racks, we aim to make it convenient for students to choose an eco-friendly mode of transportation and incorporate exercise into their daily routines.

Reducing Traffic Congestion: With more students biking to school, we can contribute to reducing traffic congestion during drop-off and pick-up times. This not only eases the flow of traffic around the school, but also promotes a safer environment for everyone.



Environmental Sustainability: Biking is a sustainable mode of transportation that significantly reduces our carbon footprint. By supporting this initiative, you contribute to instilling environmental consciousness in our students and fostering a sense of responsibility towards the planet.

Building a Sense of Community: Providing adequate bike racks helps create a sense of community within our school. It encourages students to connect with their peers who share similar interests, promoting a friendly and inclusive atmosphere.



Teaching Responsibility: Biking to school teaches students responsibility as they learn to take care of their bikes and follow safety guidelines. It instills valuable life skills and promotes a sense of independence.

To make this project a reality, we are seeking your support through donations. Your generous contribution will go directly towards purchasing

and installing new bike racks, ensuring that our students have a safe and convenient place to park their bikes.

If you would like to contribute, we’ll have a donation page up soon. Every donation, big or small, makes a significant impact on the success of this project.
