Asha-Jyothi Fun Run - September 21- Please join us!

Cub Run is excited to partner with Asha-Jyothi again to support their 17th Annual Fun Run! The Asha-Jyothi (AJ) 5K Run is a fun-filled family event with foot tapping music, delicious food and a friendly course. It is a volunteer based non-profit organization dedicated to serving the needs of the underprivileged by providing access to education and healthcare.

AJ generously donates all the registration money from each school back to the school for its STEM needs.

Last year we had 34 participants from Cub Run and raised $1,390 for our school! Let's beat our number of registrants from last year - this is an excellent fundraiser for the school and a great opportunity to practice our running! Register now and join the fun!

Positivity Project

Cub Run is entering its 9th year as a P2 Partner School! This means that we implement a school-wide social emotional program called Positivity Project. P2 helps our students build positive relationships by recognizing and developing their character strengths. Teachers kicked off P2 this week during morning meeting with our “Intro Week.” After that, we will introduce and focus on a new positive character trait or mindset each week. “P2 for Families” is a great resource you can use at home to discuss the importance of character strengths and positive relationships. For more info click here: https://posproject.org/p2-for-families/.

Principals' Walking Club

Our Principals’ Walking Club will kick off in October on Friday, October 3 from 8:05-8:30AM. You are invited to come and join Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Haider, and other Cub Run staff to kick off the day with some movement! Please meet us on our upper blacktop. Our club charms will continue this year for Cubbies and staff attending. We hope to see you on October 3!
