Girls On The Run is coming --- year 6 at Stoneridge! #GOTR 12/7

Girls on the Run will be starting up in February 2018. For those that don’t know about the program, this will be the 6th year at Stoneridge!

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. And you do not need to be a runner to participate! Each season, girls gain a better understanding of who they are and what's important to them, the value of teamwork and healthy relationships and how they can have a positive impact on the world. 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. This celebratory, non-competitive event provides girls with a sense of accomplishment and instills the value of goal setting at a young age.

The 10-week season runs from February 11 through May 11. Our current program fee is $165 per girl. This includes:
▪ 10 weeks/20 lessons led by trained coaches (all coaching teams are background checked and have CPR/First Aid certification)
▪ A healthy snack at each practice
▪ All curriculum materials
▪ Girls on the Run Program t-shirts
▪ Girls on the Run water bottle
▪ Registration for Girls on the Run 5K event
▪ Girls on the Run 5K medal

Scholarships are available. For more information, please check out this great blog post on the GOTR side with accompanying video: https://www.gotrsac.org/News/post/new-study-demonstrates-that-girls-on-the-run-transforms-young-girls-lives
