Run Lola Run
Register now for Girls on the Run!
Meets Mon/Weds 3:45-5:00 starting March 7th.
Be a part of the fun…Join us at Girls on the Run!
So… What is Girls on the Run?
Stretch yourself – physically, mentally, socially and emotionally. Girls will be inspired to a lifetime of self-respect and a healthy lifestyle through an innovative program that combines training for a 3.1 mile run/walk race with a fun, health education lesson plan. This program promotes individual achievement and self –confidence. Girls gain self-esteem and learn healthy lifestyle habits while training for a 5K run/walk race.
Girls on the Run is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping girls stay out of the “Girl Box” – a place where girls are valued more for their outward appearance than their character inside. We are working to reduce at-risk behaviors such as substance abuse, eating disorders, teen pregnancy, and poor nutrition.
What if I don’t like to run?
We use the term “running” loosely – girls can run, hop, skip, speed walk or dance towards their goals. The lessons promote self-challenge instead of competition; self-worth instead of societal worth; and cooperation instead of rivalry.
Our goals for each girl are to:
Understand her place in the community.
Have strong sense of identity.
Learn how to give and receive support in a group.
Learn to stand up for herself in a healthy manner.
Have an improved body image.
Complete a 5K run/walk event in the community.
Register now. Starts the week of March 7th

Valentine's Day Tea
The tea was a huge hit. Thank you for making it happen. If you could not attend, make sure to ask your child about it. Have you read the compliment they were given by a classmate. I hope this becomes an annual tradition for 4th grade.

Valentine's Day
Hello everyone,
Please sign up to help with the upcoming 4th Grade Valentine's Tea Party.
The 4th graders will be doing a writing assignment in class to read at the tea and we will serve the kids as if it is a formal tea party. We ask that every child bring a tea cup and spoon for their tea and we will bring the rest. We did ask for extra cups in the sly reply just in case some kids do not have one at home. Please feel free to ask Colleen Lampron or Molly Nearpass any questions about the party. The kids will be asked to dress up including ties for the boys.
set up at 1:00
Tea time 1:30-3:30
clean up at 3:30
