Registration for the Spring 2025 Girls on the Run Program is now open and will remain open until February 23. This will be our second year offering the Girls on the Run Program for third, fourth, and fifth grade students at GES. The program will be led by Mrs. Kristine Beer and Mrs. Kelsey Peppenhorst.
What is Girls on the Run?
Run may be in the name, but Girls on the Run is much more than stretches and lap goals. In this after-school program, participants of all abilities learn to embrace their inner strength, make meaningful connections and give back to their communities. Girls learn skills that shape them into tomorrow’s leaders, with 97% of participants reporting they learned things at Girls on the Run that are important to them.
Starting the week of March 3rd and continuing through early May, the GES Girls on the Run team will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays at school from 3:15-4:30. The program will conclude on May 10 with a celebratory 5K Run at Forest Park in St. Louis. The standard program fee is $100. Financial assistance, payment plans, and sibling discounts are available for anyone who needs it.
To register your child, go to www.gotrstl.org, click on the 'Register' button in the top right corner of the page and choose the 3rd-5th Grade Program. This will take you to a new page where you will click the pink 'Register' button towards the bottom of the page.
