Dear Girls on the Run (GOTR) Parent/Guardian,
The spring season is officially underway, and we hope your child is having a wonderful time in our life-changing program.
YOUR GOTR GIRL’S LEARNING JOURNEY: AT HOME AND BEYOND
Over the past few weeks, the participants and their teams learned about who they are, what's important to them and how to build connections with their teams. Over the next few weeks, they will focus on developing self-confidence, building character, and how important self care is by doing good things for their brain, physical health, and emotions.
Participants have been exploring the concepts of positive and negative self-talk, learning how to differentiate between the two, and why it's important to recognize the negative and amplify the positive. Participants will continue to learn about letting their star power shine through and explore healthy ways to express their feelings through emotions- whether comfortable or uncomfortable.
Talking about emotions can be hard for everyone, so we suggest connecting with your child and engaging in conversations about what they learned or discussed at Girls on the Run practice.

As part of the Girls on the Run program, your daughter will be running a non-competitive, celebratory 5K with us at the end of the season. We want everyone to be a part of it and hope to see family and friends join in the fun!
