Register for Let Me Run - 9/27
Let Me Run Registration NOW OPEN for Let Me Run at Matsunaga!
 
Connecting Boys Sole to Soul - Let Me Run is much more than a running program for boys. The trained coaches combine running with fun activities and lessons to help boys learn teamwork, build relationship skills, create friendships, grow emotionally, amplify their self-esteem, empower themselves and others, and live an active lifestyle. We nurture and celebrate every aspect of what it really means to be a boy and we let them run.

  • The program runs for 7 weeks and meets on Tuesday and Thursday mornings before school from 8:00am-9:15am.
  • Let Me Run fee is $100 per student.

If you have any questions or if you are interested in being an assistant coach,  contact Maria Nicholas at 240-355-7397 or  [email protected] .

Advertise in the '16-'17 Directory
AtoZ Directories is hard at work on our directory for the new school year!
 
AtoZ makes it easy for you to advertise in the directory. With a plan for every budget, there is no better way to connect directly with families in our community and support our school! 

There are still a few premium positions open; we'd love to fill these pages with ads promoting our school community businesses. 

Please email Michele Delgadillo at [email protected] to secure your placement or for more information. 

We are thrilled to continue our partnership with AtoZ Directories and we know Michele will take good care of you!  As always, thank you for your participation and support!
