Triple Play - GOTR Plans Multiple Activities By Ann Mead Ash
Girls on the Run (GOTR) of Lancaster and Lebanon is living up to its name with a busy spring schedule, which is keeping organizers on the run. GOTR will launch its spring season on Monday, March 16; the organization will hold a scholarship fundraising banquet on Friday, April 17; and the first GOTR summer camp program will be held from Monday, June 22, to Friday, June 26. This year’s season will include 100 teams in school districts in Lancaster and Lebanon counties using two different curriculums. The program, designed for girls ages 8 to 14, will teach about self-esteem, positive body image, and setting and achieving goals. The organization offers two curricula: GOTR, for girls in grades three through five, and Heart and Sole, designed for girls in
sixth through eighth grades. Heart and Sole is facilitated by coaches, but led by the team members. The curriculum includes both discussion and journaling with a goal of giving girls the tools they need to navigate middle school and be successful in high school. “We are excited that in our 11th year in Lancaster and Lebanon, we have our biggest Heart and Sole season to date coming up,” said Jennifer West, who serves as program director for the organization. Girls who wish to take part in GOTR or Heart and Sole may visit www.gotr lancaster.org for more information.
