Officials at Orchard Grove Elementary in Frederick say fitness scores are
up and discipline problems are down, thanks to a popular running club.

School celebrates new running track
Orchard Grove Elementary edged out 2,200 other schools to win funding
through national contest

Orchard Grove Elementary School students took the inaugural lap on their
brand new track on Monday morning, the first of many on the
1,056-foot-long, about one-fifth of a mile, paved loop around two soccer
fields near the school.
.
School officials, parents and students all gathered for a ribbon cutting
ceremony that included speakers, songs and the lap around the track to
Olympic music.

.
Orchard Grove Elementary fit these criteria because of its recess running
program which encourages students to stay fit by running during recess.
.
Physical education teacher Brenda Tarquinio, who nominated the school for
the contest, said she was spurred on by the winter weather of 2010 where
students missed a lot of running because of the lack of a paved track.
.
"That's why we had this vision: ¡Let's get a track, even if the field is
still wet, they can still continue to run,'" she said. "The teachers
noticed a difference too; they [students] come back in from recess ready
to learn [because] they've gotten the energy out."
.
Third grade student Brianna Avakian, a member of the school's running
club, said she liked the club because she likes getting the running
tokens, but also "that I can get healthy and get fit and strong."
.
Many students wore their brightly colored tokens representing their
mileage in the club to the ceremony, the charms on chains around their
necks.
.
"It's kind of like something that you want to do, if you just want to play
on the playground and run and just have a good time, you can do that, but
if you want to run and get fit, that's your choice too," said the
9-year-old.
