A word from our Girls on the Run coaches:

A word from a Girls on the Run parent:

"I am blown away by this program

and so thankful it has

been brought to my daughter's school.

Listening to my daughter as

she described the difference

between negative and positive

self-talk, I was almost brought

to tears at the realization

of how important this and all

Girls on the Run lessons are.

Thanks to all who are making this

possible! If only this program hadbeen available when I was a kid."

"It has been amazing

to see all of the girls

grow and come together

as a team."

"Coaching these girls --

delivering the curriculum,

watching their growth --

it has changed my life."
