Girls on Track New Program- Heart and Sole

Girls on the Run’s new middle school program, Heart & Sole, is coming to Browns River Middle School this spring!  It is the newer version of Girls on Track program that we have participated in for the last several years for 5th and 6th grade girls.  But, we need coaches, particularly on Tuesdays after school until 4 pm.  We will begin the program the first week of April going until the 5K that occurs on Saturday, June 4, 2016. You do not need to have running experience to coach! 

The Girls on the Run organization believes that adolescents bring many unique things to the table. We also know that girls at this age often sort through conflicting messages about their worth, their abilities and their value. The new middle school program, Heart & Sole, helps girls develop the skills to tune into their own truths and to unleash their power to live confidently and joyfully.

Heart & Sole creates a positive, structured space for middle school girls to learn about themselves, explore new ideas, cultivate empathy, strengthen connections and develop life skills that will help them as they move through adolescence and beyond. Physical activity is woven through the program as a learning mechanism and a way for girls to experience goal setting and achievement.

The  Heart & Sole curriculum is rich with themes girls can relate to, addressing the whole girl—body, brain, heart, spirit, and social connection—and building important life skills such as team building, developing a support system, boundary setting, asking for and providing help, and more.   The girls will culminate the season by participating in the 5k event!

Please contact Tina Gallagher at BRMS if you can help at 899-3711 or tina.gallagher@cesuvt.org. We would welcome any parent or a community member who might be interested. The program will occur on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school, April 5- June 4. Please let us know if you can help one or both days. We would truly appreciate your help!! Coach sign up is in the month of January. Thanks in advance.
