Girls on The Run Classes Start

Dear Pebblecreek Montessori Parents,

Pebblecreek Montessori will, once again, offer the Girls on the Run Program to our elementary aged girls starting at grade 3 and up. The program was very successful last year and many parents have requested we offer it again. The curriculum has changed so all the lessons will be new to those who participated last year. The mission of GOTR is to educate and prepare girls for a life time of self-respect and healthy living.
 

Girls on the Run® is a life-changing, experiential learning program. The program combines training for a 3.1 mile running event with self-esteem enhancing, uplifting workouts. The goal of the program is to encourage positive emotional, social, mental, spiritual and physical development.

The objective of Girls on the Run is to educate and empower girls at an early age in order to prevent the display of at-risk activities in the future. At risk activities include substance/alcohol use, eating disorders, early onset of sexual activity, sedentary lifestyle, depression, suicide attempts and confrontations with the juvenile justice system. 

 

Girls on the Run® is a 501(c)3 positive youth development program which combines an interactive curriculum and running to inspire self-respect and healthy lifestyles in pre-teen girls. Our core curriculum addresses many aspects of girls’ development - their physical, emotional, mental and social well-being. Lessons provide girls with the tools to make positive decisions and to avoid risky adolescent behaviors.


If you are interested in having your daughter participate, please go online and register her.  The website:  http://www.gotrdfw.org.  . Once on their website, go to locations and you will find Pebblecreek Montessori. Fees include classes, race entry fee and a water bottle.  Each girl participating will also receive a GOTR shirt.

 

Classes will start Tuesday, February 22nd

Please contact me with any questions. We are looking forward to a great season! 
Regards,
Susan Dendinger
