Spearman Elementary

Hello Spearman families!

We are so excited to begin a new extracurricular activity for girls in grades 3-5: GIRLS ON THE RUN! 

Girls on the Run is an afterschool program like no other! Twice a week for 10 weeks, girls will have fun, make friends, increase their physical activity levels, and learn important life skills. Trained coaches (who are also Spearman teachers) will lead girls in 3rd-5th grade through interactive lessons and movement activities. The 10-week season will end with a celebratory 5K event!

Practice starts on Monday, September 11. Practices are Mondays and Wednesdays from 2:30-3:35. The celebratory 5K will take place on November 18, 2023, at USC Upstate in Spartanburg, SC. There is a registration fee to participate in the season of $150, which covers the 5K event, a Girls on the Run t-shirt, a healthy snack at each practice, and an interactive learning curriculum. There is financial assistance available.

Flyers with the registration QR code will be sent home on Monday, August 28. Registration will remain open until September 19.

If you would like to know more about Girls on the Run, you can read about it on the GOTR website. You can also reach out to Ms. Wilt (4th Grade) for further questions: wilte@apps.anderson1.org

We are so excited to start such a fun and uplifting program here at Spearman!
