Read, Deed, Run at Cimarron

Read, Deed, Run (RDR) is more than just a program—it’s a journey that builds strong minds, kind hearts, and healthy bodies. Over 26 weeks, students in grades 4–5 commit to a fun and rewarding challenge:

Program Details

• Reading Requirement: 26 books (or 2,600 pages). Books read at school count, and records are kept in each student’s RDR log.

• Deed Requirement: 26 good deeds. One deed equals one hour of service. Opportunities will be shared throughout the year, but families may choose their own ways to serve.

• Run Requirement: 25 miles completed during supervised Run Days, plus the final 1.2-mile race. Students should wear comfortable clothes and running shoes.

RDR encourages every student to set goals, persevere, and celebrate their accomplishments—all while having fun and making lifelong memories.
