Submitted by quest lakes on Sun, 04/17/2011 - 5:11pm

DAYTON, Nev. — Put on your running shoes and join us for a beautiful morning run in Dayton's "outback" on May 14, starting at 8:30am at the Como Park near Dayton Elementary School. Stand Tall and the Dayton Task Force are co-sponsoring a Healthy Communities Coalition 5K Walk/Run to benefit local students through the Dayton Resource Bank and Stand Tall youth leadership teams.

How Do I Register and What Else Can I Do In Dayton on May 14?
Everyone is welcome, both runners and walkers. Early registration fees start at $10 for youths and $15 for adults. All proceeds benefit the Resource Bank and the Stand Tall teams. For more information about how to sign up for the Walk/Run, please contact Lavurne Jeffreys at (775) 246-7550 or pick up a registration form in the lobby of the Dayton Community Center at 170 Pike Street, or find the form online at www.healthycomm.org. You can stay in Dayton after the run and regain your carbs at Oodles of Noodles, the street fair taking place in nearby Old Town Dayton. You can also stop at the free Dayton Task Force Health Fair at nearby Community Roots on Hwy 50 after your run.

What is Dayton Resource Bank?
The Resource Bank is a project of Dayton Task Force that is for 3rd party referrals about student needs. Ministers, club leaders, school secretaries, teachers, bus drivers, counselors, administrators, coaches, and nurses who notice that a family is unable to pay for any item related to succeeding in school or participating in extracurricular clubs, field trips, etc., can call Sara Ross of the Dayton Task Force at 246-7550. The service does not violate student privacy, because there is no need to share the name of the child, only the need.

How Do I Apply and Where?
To apply for help from the Task Force's Resource Bank, simply call and describe the need and either the Resource Bank funds will be used to purchase the needed items or pay the required fee in question, or the task force leader will connect you to other groups that can fill the student's need.
What sorts of things does the Resource Bank Fund? Following is a list of the types of items the Resource Bank can fund, but this list is in no way complete. In the last two years, the Resource Bank has raised and distributed over $5,000 to local students K-12. Please don't hesitate to ask if the needed item in any way impacts the student's school experience and the student's family and other groups cannot help:

— Coats, shoes, clothing, undergarments
— Lab fees for art, culinary art, wood shop, advanced math and science, etc.
— Bike helmets
— Class Field Trip fees
— School supplies such as folders, pens, pencils, paper, poster boards for projects, etc.
— School Club Fees
— School uniforms such as gym uniforms, band, choir, etc.
— Prom dresses and necessary undergarments, prom tuxedo rentals
— Hygiene items such as soap, shampoo, deodorant
— Classroom party items such as birthday treats for a student’s birthday, valentine cards, Halloween costumes, etc.

What are Stand Tall youth leadership teams?
These teams to promote teen leadership skills and community wellness and to prevent alcohol, tobacco and other drug use are funded through Healthy Communities Coalition and exist in most high schools in Lyon and Storey. The teams lead a number of wellness and prevention campaigns in the schools and their communities throughout the school year, and participate in service projects such as coat and food drives every year. The regional coordinator is Lavurne Jeffreys who can be reached at (775) 246-7550.
The 5K Walk/Run benefits great local causes, and it’s good for your health, too! Remember, the biggest challenge is putting on your running shoes. We look forward to seeing you on the trail.
