Weekly News Blast for the Week of September 25, 2017
Let Me Run Program
Let Me Run is a running program for 4th and 5th grade boys, but it's more about the boy than the run. Counteracting the negative pressures society places on boys, the program uses running as the vehicle to inspire, teach, and reach them. Combining exercise with fun activities and lessons, our trained coaches inspire boys to be courageous enough to be themselves, build healthy relationships, and live an active lifestyle. Registration at Gilles-Sweet is now open! Fall season starts on October 2, meets Mondays and Thursdays after school from 3-4:15 PM, and ends with a 5k race on November 19.
