Girls on the Run - Seeking Fall Coaches

,

It is not too early to start thinking about a FALL Girls on the Run (grades 3-5) or Heart & Sole (grade 6-8) team! We always have runners on a waiting list so we need COACHES! That could be YOU, even if you don't consider yourself a runner. Can you run a block? YOU can be coach, really you can. Start thinking about what you can do to help, even if you aren't able to be at practices (2 per week September - early November). Be looking for info from GRS in late July or early August.

Questions - reach out to Nadine Wetzel-Curtis on Facebook messenger over the summer.
