PTO Girls on the Run
We need more girls to register or we will not have a spring program! We must have at least 10 girls in grades 3–8 sign up in order to host a program each season. Online registration for the spring season of Girls on the Run at St. Rita School has been extended until 6pm Tuesday, February 23, 2010. Go to the new website for GOTR of Northern Virginia (www.gotrnova.org) to sign up your daughter. Click on this link for a flyer with all the details about the program. Please call Stephanie Rosales at 571-970-1446 if you need help with registration.
The spring program begins March 9. We will meet every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:15–4:30pm. The spring 5K event will be May 23 in Fairfax.
Financial assistance is available from GOTR so no girl is ever turned away because of financial situation.
A little more about GOTR at St. Rita School:
Girls on the Run is an after-school program that uses the power of running to help prepare girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living. Through interactive activities such as running, playing games, and discussing important issues, participants learn how to celebrate being girls…all within a Catholic context. Along the way, the girls train together to walk or run in a 5K (3.1 mile) event which includes girls from all over Northern Virginia participating. Each girl will need a running “buddy” for the 5K, so moms or dads (or a relative or friend) are encouraged to get fit with their daughter and run with her in the event.
Coaches Eva Villalobos, St. Rita School PE teacher and Stephanie Rosales, mother of 2 daughters at St. Rita School, meet with the girls every Tuesday and Thursday on school grounds.
If you have any questions or are interested in volunteering during our sessions (Virtus required) please contact one of us.
