GOTR at Banks Road Elementary works with third, fourth, and fifth grade girls to build character and positive self-esteem through a fun combination of running, teamwork, goal setting, and community service.
Yesterday was an important day at Girls on the Run... we talked about positivity, and why it's important to not only be a positive person but to surround yourself with positive friends. The girls practiced encouraging, confident, strong messages and are already working together as a team! Make sure to ask your Girl on the Run about what it means to "plug in to the positive cord!"
The first day of Spring Season was a success! The girls had lots of fun today getting to know each other. We learned about Girls on the Run and each other as we played some games and did a little running... check it out!

After a wonderful fall season, we are super excited that tomorrow starts our Spring Season of Girls on the Run at Banks! We have 18 amazing girls signed up, a mixture of both new and familiar faces. We will be doing lots of fun activities, and the girls will be learning many things about themselves, others, and how to live a healthy lifestyle. Please make sure to follow along in the Parent Guide that you'll be receiving tomorrow when you pick up the girls! If you want to be encouraged about what a great program this is, check out what some of the girls and coaches from Sonoma County, CA have to say about participating in GOTR: http://www.gotrsonomacounty.org/quotes2.html. See you tomorrow!
