With these funds I will...register 15 girls to participate in the Girls on the Run program with myself and 2 other teachers as their coaches.  The registration fee for each girl is $30 plus $5 for materials and running shoes are provided for them. We will meet twice a week to practice healthy habits and train to run a 5K on Dec 3rd.  Teaching girls the power running provides for the mental health benefits and physical health benefits will be invaluable to them for the rest of their lives.  This small group will provide a safe place to explore what it is to be a healthy middle school girl as the stress of social pressure increases. The parents will receive a calendar of the topics we discuss and the workouts we complete so they can continue the conversation at home. We had an amazing group in the Spring of 2016 and the girls are asking when we will start up practices...they are excited!
