“It makes you feel good to be somewhere with girls where you can be free and can let yourself loose. And you don’t have to try to be like everyone else.”
-Lilly, age 12 | 6th-8th Grade Program Participant (Heart & Sole)
This spring, give the gift of the Heart & Sole experience to your 6th, 7th and 8th grade girl!
Parents/Guardians – We are happy to announce that The Studios @ Central Middle School will be hosting a Heart & Sole team this spring for girls in 6th, 7th and 8th grade.
Registration Opens on January 16th at 6am on a FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVED basis and will stay open until we reach a full team of 15 or March 1st - whichever comes first.
Heart & Sole is WAY more than a running program. Through dynamic, conversation-based lessons and running games taught by certified coaches, Heart & Sole is a safe, supportive place for your girl to build her CONFIDENCE, CONNECT with peers who turn into friends, and learn LIFE SKILLS to help her navigate her world.
Meeting once a week in small teams of 8-15 girls, running is used to teach girls how to set a goal, slowly work toward it and accomplish it while encouraging lifelong health and fitness and building confidence through accomplishment.
Volunteer coaches follow a research-based curriculum that covers topics such as:
* how to turn negative self-talk into positive self-talk
* how to understand their emotions
* how to choose good friends and be a good friend
* how to show gratitude and express empathy
* how to deal with gossip and handle peer pressure
and SO MUCH MORE!
At the season's conclusion, the girls will complete a 5k (3.1 miles) fun run Saturday, April 27th.. Completing the 5K gives the girls a tangible sense of achievement as well as a framework for setting and achieving life goals.
The result—making the seemingly impossible, possible and teaching girls that they CAN.
Season begins: Week of Feb. 19th or Feb. 26th 2024. Start time depends on school holiday schedules.
Season Ends: Week of May 6th
GOTR 5k Events:
Saturday, April 27th, 2024 - Butte College
