The Fall Program is Going Strong!

- Originally posted October 19, 2009 -

Our fall season is in full swing and we’re having a blast. This season we have six programs, which is double what we had from last year! In addition to continuing the programs from last year at Percy Priest Elementary and Guild Elementary, there is now a Girls on Track program at Rucker Stewart in Gallatin and a 5th and 6th grade-only GOTR program at J.T.

Moore Middle. And as you’ll read in Jennifer’s blog, we are absolutely thrilled about our first GOTR/Metropolitan Nashville Parks and Recreation collaboration at East Park Community Center, which is sponsored by a grant from the Nashville Predators Foundation.

Our girls are staying busy not only having fun and running but giving back to the community. Some of our girls will be helping out at the Dunkin’ Donuts Family Fun Run and Walk-a-thon November 7th, handing out goody bags, working the water stations and cheering on the runners. Others will be decorating collection boxes for their school lobbies to raise money for Prevent Child Abuse Tennessee (PCAT).

On top of all that, our 66 girls, running buddies and coaches are learning a lot and working hard in anticipation for their first practice 5k next month. This is all in preparation to participate in the season ending PCAT Jingle Bell 5k December 12th.

Lots is happening this season, be sure to check back soon!
