Joinus next year for more fun fitness activities!

“SWIS PTA家庭亲子晨跑“（原SWIS PTA家庭里程俱乐部）是一项充满趣味的健康运动项目，以家庭为单位，鼓励学生及家长培养强身健体的良好习惯，享受跑步的乐趣。该活动在5月的每个星期二和星期四早上7:45-8:15分在校操场举行。今年，PTA为此项活动特别定制了里程奖牌。每个参与跑步的家庭都领取了跑步里程记录册，每跑完操场一圈即可获得一枚盖章印花。以家庭为单位，每跑满24圈后就能兑换一枚活动奖牌（获得奖牌数量不限）。

我们很高兴地看到许多家庭坚持跑了全部8天的晨跑！家长们的参与给了孩子更多的动力。孩子们的坚持也让家长们十分骄傲！

Thank you all! 感谢您的支持和参与！
