PTO PARENT RUNNING CLUB


Need someone to run with for group runs or races? The Discovery Community has a Running Club for parents that meets every Sunday at 7 am in front of Southern Grounds. Communication on club activities can be found on our Running Club Facebook Page.

You don't have to run far or fast just put your shoes on and show up. The idea is to hold each other accountable and have FUN! Our kids are absorbing all that we do. Telling them that exercise is important isn't enough we have to prioritize it for ourselves. Join us for a run! If you have any questions or are interested and aren't on Facebook, please email us at pto@thediscoveryschool.com.
