Let Me Run 
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 Monday, October 1 and meets Mondays and Thursdays after school for an hour and fifteen minutes, and ends with a 5k race on Sunday, November 18.  Watch a video to learn more and register at  LetMeRun.org. Questions? Email Mrs. Ristagno at  cristagno@fairview.k12.oh.us or Mr. Maeder at  dmaeder@fairview.k12.oh.us.
