Girls on the Run is an after school pro-gram that com-bines curricu-lum with sport aimed at building self esteem and confidence in young girls between 3rd and 5th grade. Throughout the 10 week season, the girls will discuss such topics such as body image, popularity, gossiping, choosing our friends, conflict resolu-tion and much more. The girls will develop their character, compe-tence and feel confident in who they are, creat-ing positive connections with peers and adults while making a meaningful contri-bution to their community. The curriculum is also combined with the sport of running. The running activities are used as a medium for teaching life skills and promoting healthy outcomes, while coming together as a team to support one another. At the conclusion of the program, the girls will join other teams to celebrate their accomplishments with a celebratory 5k.
The GOTR season will begin on March 4th and conclude with the GOTR 5k on May 11th in Sparta. More infor-mation is availa-ble on their web site, www.got-rnjn.org. For questions, email Girls on the Run at info@gotrnjn.org.
