You should check out a character development program called Girls on the Run at www.girlsontherun.org. It's a great program that uses the power of running to build self-esteem and healthy lifestyles in girls grades 3rd-5th.
The school I teach at participates in Girls on Track (the 6th-8th grade version of Girls on the Run). It is a wonderful program. I also highly recommend checking them out.
Hey, Tracee, as you know we've moved the week to this week, and yes you WILL be featured...We may even extend it we're getting so much feedback!
I'm about to post the Girl Mogul interview...and yes, Girls On the Run is fabulous...our Girls Are Champions partner tipped me off to them long ago! They're awesome.
More soon...Amy
