Do you have a 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade daughter?

 

The Girls on the Run Program is returning to our school this fall and registration is now open on a first-come first-serve basis. You can register HERE.

 

Girls on the Run is a program for girls in 3rd-5th grade that encourages girls to recognize their individual strengths and celebrate connections with others. Girls also make a meaningful contribution to their community through a team-organized Community Impact Project. Physical activity is woven into the program to inspire an appreciation for fitness and healthy habits and teach life skills including treating others with care, practicing gratitude and managing emotions. Each season culminates with a Girls on the Run 5K event.

 

Our Practice Schedule is: Tues/Thurs 4:00pm - 5:15pm 

The season runs from the week of Sept. 24th to Dec. 8th.

The Reindeer Romp 5k will be on Dec. 8th.

 

We need a minimum number signed up to be able to run the program and have scholarships available for girls who qualify
