Students Run Philly Style! Shout out for snacks!

3/15/2026

 
Snack Donations Needed!

With practices now officially underway, it is great to see such a fantastic turnout! We currently have over 100 students signed up this year and we are seeing 40–50 students joining us each day. A long school day followed by a tough workout means these runners are hungry—and our current snack supply has run out.

To keep everyone fueled, we are looking to build up a steady supply for the season. Here is a quick look at our weekly "burn rate":
  • Attendance: 40–50 runners per practice
  • Frequency: 3 practices per week
  • Total Needed: Approximately 150 snacks per week

How You Can Help

If you are able, we would greatly appreciate any donations of pre-practice snacks. We’ve found that the students perform best with options that aren't too heavy, overly sweet, or chocolatey.

Great examples include:
  • Granola bars (oat-based)
  • Fruit snacks
  • Individual cracker packs (Goldfish, pretzels, etc.)
  • Rice Crispy treats
If you're willing to donate, please feel free to send items in with your student or drop them off at the next practice. Thank you for helping us keep our runners energized and ready to hit the trail!

You can deliver them to Room 104 at any time or ship them to the school C/O Mr. Gilligan.
