Girls on the Run: Registration Opens November 1!

GotRGirls on the Run (GOTR) is an after-school program for girls in 3rd-5th grades which educates and prepares girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living.

GOTR helps provide girls with the tools necessary to make healthy decisions and the knowledge to lead healthy lifestyles. Girls on the Run lessons use running as a tool to teach girls about physical, emotional, mental and social health.

Registration Information:  Visit WWW.GOTROAC.ORG and click on the ‘Registration’ tab!

Registration opens: November 1st, 2015 at 9:00am  • Registration closes: November 30th, 2015 at midnight
*Late registrations are only available on teams with available space*

The 10 week curriculum offers lessons that specifically address some of the issues that will arise during elementary school. Teams of 8-15 girls will engage in in-depth, age appropriate discussions regarding topics such as bullying and gossiping, making healthy choices, keeping promises and self-confidence to name a few. Teams meet twice a week at their school with their trained, volunteer coaches to play games, complete projects and use the power of running to learn about themselves and others!  The program ends with the girls completing a non-competitive celebration 5K at the end of May!

NOTE:  Girls on the Run Practice at Georgetown Elementary will be on Tuesday’s and Friday’s after school.

Girls on the Run Service Project

 

gotr

Our Girls on the Run team selects a service project to complete before the end of the school year.  This year, the team raised money to create potted flowers pots for the front of the building and clean up and add plantings to our Grace Thatcher bench area near the ponds. Grace, a third grader at Georgetown in 2006-07, died of brain cancer during the summer of 2007.  Grace was a beautiful, bright and environmentally focused girl.  We placed the bench in the back pond area to help others take time to appreciate the sounds of nature that she loved so much.

The potted impatience look beautiful in the front of our building.  A group of students and I spent time near the ponds today and were impresses with weeded and freshly planted hostas, lilies and impatience around the bench.  Thank you runners for the work you did to help our school grounds look welcoming and beautiful.  Also, many thanks to Mrs. Havens and her team of coaches who worked with these girls from March-May of this school year.

If you are interested in coaching Girls on the Run next year (girls grade 3-5), please let Mrs. Haven’s know via email (chavens@hpseagles.net).  She is already building the roster for next year and this is a program we would like to continue.  It benefits the girls, the coaches and our entire school.
