Girls on the Run

Girls on the Run ~ Spring 2006
2nd-4th graders

The Girls on the Run program allows girls to learn about themselves through lessons focused on: healthy choices, emotional health, bullying, drugs, gossip, community service, all while integrating running. At the end of the season the girls run a 5k! The accomplishment and pride is all over their face when they cross the finish line!

This program has taught me so much as a future educator. Most importantly I have learned how to form meaningful relationships with these girls. Creating an atmosphere where they feel comfortable is key to a successful relationship and I've had a lot of practice doing that.

Below the girls are working on teamwork by doing a circle sit!!
