The Mustang Stampede Activity Information

The Mustang Stampede is Simpson’s Running Club that is open to students of all abilities. Join our club to improve your sports performance or train to run a 5k. The club is managed by Susan DaSilva, school psychologist, Michele Malloy, teaching assistant, and Amy Perkins, an assistant track/cross country coach at LCHS. Parents and teachers may sign up to help on our website, which is found by clicking the activities link on the Simpson home page (

The club meets after school on Tuesdays and Wednesdays until 4:30 pm. Students may ride the activity bus home. There will be two 12-week sessions, fall and spring. The fall session begins on Sep. 20, 2016. Although the activity is free, we may ask that parents supply water and snacks throughout the year.

Expectations:

  • Students will bring appropriate clothing for the weather to run outdoors.
  • Phones/devices are permitted for listening to music or tracking during runs. No movies, Pokemon Go, video games etc. will be permitted. Students are responsible for their own devices.
  • Bring a water bottle and/or snack if needed.
  • After warm-up, students will run on and off campus with adults, and they are expected to stay with the group.
  • Students will need to stay with the club until the activity bell rings at 4:30 pm, unless we receive a note from home.

Please complete the permission form and waiver. Students should return forms to their house office.
