Read, Deed, Run

What is Read, Deed, and Run? 

• RDR is an all-encompassing program for the WHOLE child.
• Students in grades 4 & 5 commit to a 26-week program in which they will read 26 books (or 2600 pages), perform 26 good deeds in the community, and run a total of 26.2 miles.
• Students run their final 1.2 miles in a "race" to earn their finisher's t-shirt and medal. 

Read Requirement:

• Students are required to read 26 books or 2600 pages.
• Books read in school can count towards the reading requirement.
• Books must be at the student's reading level.
• Records of the books read will be kept in the student's RDR book. 

Deed Requirement:

• Students are required to perform 26 deeds in or for the community.
• one deed = one hour of service​
• Deed opportunities will be communicated throughout the program.
• A Deed opportunity is NEVER required, it is completely up to the student and their family to decide if they wish to participate. 

Run Requirement:

• Students are required to run a total of 25 miles throughout the course of the program.
• On Run Days, students will run a mile on a course supervised by coaches.  Staff will be with students at all times.
