Girls On The Run: Heart & Soul Program

SPONSORED BY GIRLS ON THE RUN

Registration will open for the spring session soon for the Girls on the Run/Heart & Sole program at Herndon MS. By using a curriculum that creatively integrates running with life lessons, Girls on the Run empowers girls to develop the confidence and character they need to become strong and healthy young adults.

The standard program fee is $185, but we also offer military and sibling discounts, as well as financial assistance available for all families.  No families will be turned away because they cannot afford it!  For more information, go to the Girls on the Run of NOVA website (www.gotrnova.org) or contact Mr. Fuller.

FUN FACT: Why Stay After School?

• Increased classroom participation, homework completion and academic performance

• Improved student behavior

• Better student/adult relationships, peer relations, and emotional adjustment

• Improved school attendance

• More positive attitudes towards school

• Reduced high risk behavior

• Increased participation in healthy recreational activities

• Increased school, family, and community partnerships

• Chronic Absenteeism and Participation in After-School: In the 21-22 school year across the school division, 96% of those middle school students who were chronically absent (missing 18, or more, days of school) attended less than 30 days of after-school.
