Girls on the Run (A letter from Ms. Stever)
Calling all girls in grades 3-6!
Hello!
For those who I have not had the opportunity to meet yet, my name is Lacey Stever and I am the new PE/Health teacher at Lothrop. I am SO excited to announce that I will also be coaching our Girls on the Run team this year as well, along side parents Jessica Stout and Jennifer Loyzelle.
Our season this year will begin on Monday, February 25th. It will be on Mondays and Wednesdays at Lothrop from 3:00-4:30pm.
Girls on the Run means a lot to me, as it has been more than a running program for me. It's a way for girls to learn about themselves, develop confidence, become inspired, set goals, and reach those goals. To learn more please visit this website:
If your daughter is interested in registering for our team please visit this website below!

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me!
