It’s time to start thinking spring! Girls on the Run online registration began Dec. 1st and runs through Dec. 16th at 11:59 p.m.
Online Girl Registration can be found here: GOTR 2019 Program Registration
If you have a daughter in 3rd-5th grade, you definitely want to look into this wonderful opportunity! We are planning on two teams. Each team is limited to 15 girls. The girls will be meeting on M/W or T/Th from 3:45-5:15 p.m. Girls on the Run is a curriculum based, after-school character development program designed for 3rd-5th grade girls of ALL fitness levels. The 10-week curriculum attempts to help each girl find and stay true to her REAL self. Groups of 8 to 15 girls meet twice a week with their trained, volunteer coaches to discuss important life lessons while playing fun running games. Girls on the Run emphasizes independent thinking, making healthy choices, healthy group dynamics and problem solving. The curriculum stresses peer support and doing your best. The program finishes with the girls running or walking in a non-competitive 5K. The program runs March 6th -June 1st after school. The registration fee is $165. Scholarships are available on a sliding scale with a $5 minimum.
