Students with Cell Phones or Messaging Devices
Students with Cell Phones or Messaging Devices
I want to encourage all of our parents who have students with cell phones or messaging devices to periodically check to review their text messages and search history. We have had several issues with kiddos having dialogue with other students on their phones that would be considered inappropriate at school.
The Claremont Educational Foundation needs your help!
CEF needs your help! The Claremont Educational Foundation (CEF) is currently hiring for a part-time administrator.

The 100 Mile Club in 2023-2024
100 Mile Club Information
Since 1993, 100 Mile Club® has been the elite school-based program leading the effort in the prevention of childhood inactivity and obesity across the nation. The award-winning 100 Mile Club program improves the health and well-being of children at school through daily physical activity in a noncompetitive, supportive, and fully-inclusive environment.
The 100 Mile Club is much more than just a running program. It changes lives by improving school readiness to learn, increasing student and family engagement, and creating a true “team spirit” that transforms school culture. Embracing the whole child concept, 100 Mile Club benefits the physical, social, emotional, and mental aspects of students. Condit has participated in the 100 Mile Club for over 10 years.
The goal of the 100 Mile Club is for each student to run or walk 100 miles in a school year. Dr. Malally will continue circulating through classrooms on Fridays to recognize these accomplishments, however students will initially receive a shout out to signify their 25 miles, along with an order form. Parents will have the option to purchase the 100 Mile Club incentive package for $15, which includes the t-shirt (25 miles), pencil (50 miles), wrist band (75 miles), and finally the 100 Mile Medal that is awarded at our Medal Ceremony at the end of the school year.
Our students in K-3 will participate on our south field track from 1:00 - 1:45 PM. All students in grades 1 - 6 who would like to earn additional miles for 100 Mile Club can participate on Wednesdays from 12:00 -1:00 PM .
Our next Saturday 100 Mile Club Event will take place at Condit on Saturday, May 11th from 9:00 - 10:00 AM. We hope to see you there!
