Youth Running Series

A little running history lesson.

It's the GREATEST WEEKEND OF THE YEAR! #BlueNose2020 has begun! We have virtual finish line filters for your photos, we have scavenger hunts with some pretty g...reat prizes, now all thats missing is YOU! We miss our Blue Nosers. Let's see some of your Scavenger Hunt finds. Today Myles found an Iconic Landmark. One we know and love very much Halifax Citadel

SPOILER! Check out a sneak peek of the medal you'll get if you complete all 5 virtual races before Sunday. #yrsvr2020

A great way to add movement into this whole week is by preparing for the trick or treaters this coming weekend. Maybe decorate a tree or your front door step. ...Pumpkin carving and roasting the pumpkin seeds is also a fun activity (with adult supervision and assistance). Maybe stand at a table and make treat bags together. If you’ve decided to participate with your students, friends, kids or grandkids, you’ll find some handy suggestions below from the provincial government to help keep everyone safe this Halloween. Have fun! Tips for trick or treating: https://novascotia.ca/protect-yourself-and-others-from-c//
