Welcome to the FALL SESSION of LANDLUBBERS! LANDLUBBERS is OCE's very own running club. It is a parent and staff led after-school club for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders ONLY. LANDLUBBERS will focus on using running as a way to remain heart healthy and fit (and to have some FUN!). We are gearing up for our spring session where our focus will mainly be building up running stamina and preparing for our 5k in the spring.
Needs to Know:
Landlubbers will take place on Tuesdays from 3:45 until 4:45pm starting on September 4th. The season will run until November 13th. There will not be Landlubbers on September 11th and 18th. We will resume on September 25th.
On Tuesdays, students will meet at the basketball court at dismissal to drop off their backpacks and head to the track for warm-ups.
All ability levels are welcome. Our goal is to have ALL the students running; however, walkers are welcome (You have to start somewhere!) We NEED positive attitudes. We NEED students who are willing to give running a CHANCE!
Landlubbers need to be willing to give 100%, to push themselves harder, and to want to be there!!
On Tuesdays, runners need to wear proper running clothes and shoes to school. Students who do not have on proper clothing and/or running shoes will not be able to participate on that day. SO PLEASE MAKE SURE TO WEAR RUNNING ATTIRE/SHOES ON TUESDAYS!
BRING A WATER BOTTLE. (We try to limit trips to the building for safety reasons, so please send a water bottle specifically for running club or a refillable one for students to fill before it starts.)
Students must be picked up in the carpool lane promptly at 4:45 pm.
If there is inclement weather Landlubbers will be cancelled. An announcement will be made to students at school, parents will be emailed, and it will be tweeted out.
In order for your student(s) to participate we need you to fill in the following form and submit it by Tuesday, September 5th.
If you have any questions or concerns please email Mrs. Marie Jones (Track 1 fifth grade) at
