Tiger Striders
Tiger Striders
Tiger Striders is a daily before-school run club where students can run, jog, or walk for 15 minutes before school. The purpose of our run club is to promote lifelong healthy habits while building our sense of Chabot community. Schools that implement morning exercise programs have shown improved school attendance and test scores. Exercising before school can enhance students’ abilities to focus and learn, positively regulate mood, and impact self-control, behavior, and resilience in the classroom.
