Waubaushene Elementary School will be participating in the 2012 Girls on the Run program. This is a unique opportunity for girls in grades 3 to 5 to participate in a program to improve their physical and emotional health. Mrs. Morphet and Meg Whitton (Morning Announcer for the Dock FM) will be running this program beginning in the spring. We will meet Tuesday and Thursday after school from 3:45 – 4:45. Below is an excerpt from their flyer. If you would like more information please contact Mrs. Morphet.
Girls on the Run Simcoe County uses the power of running to change the way girls see themselves and their opportunities! It is an innovative health education and wellness program that uniquely combines training for a 5k run/walk event with life-changing, self esteem enhancing lessons that encourage healthy habits and an active lifestyle in 8-14 year old girls. Girls learn to stretch themselves – physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally – and in the process, are inspired to a lifetime of self respect and healthy living.
Flyers have been sent home with all girls in grades 3 – 5.
