Girls on the Run
Calhoun Christian School participates in the community program Girls on the Run (GOTR), for females in grades 3 to 5. The program starts at the beginning of March and concludes with a fun 5k run mid-May.
Girls on the Run is coached by parent volunteers and is intended to encourage young girls to recognize their potential, set and achieve goals, increase physical activity, manage emotions, help others, and make intentional decisions. The program lasts 10 weeks - the girls will gather 2 times per week to do a lesson and then walk/run to prepare for the 5k at the end of the 10 weeks.
The cost is $150 and includes a t-shirt, entry to the 5k, a finisher's medal, a GOTR water bottle, and healthy snack at every practice. Scholarships are available to those who need it, which often includes shoes and appropriate running attire if necessary.
More information can be found at the GOTR website or by reaching out to our office at 269-965-5560. Our parent volunteers are background checked and are always seeking extra hands from other parents.
