Dear Parent/Guardian,
During this week’s GOTR lessons we discuss the benefits of seeking gratitude and using running as a way to self-reflect. In Lesson 7, the girls explore the relationship between being thankful and being grateful. We talk about how seeking gratitude for our circumstances is a choice and can create a positive outlook on life.
We also talk about the idea of personal values. In Lesson 9, the girls identify their unique personal values. The girls engage in activities where they learn to stand up for their individual values.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!
Mark your calendars for Wednesday, April 15th 5:15 - 6:00pm. We will be having a special guest come speak to our GOTRgirls immediately following our practice in the RE library. Parents are encouraged to attend too, but it is not mandatory. This is optional for the girls to attend, but we would love as many present as possible. Read below for a short bio and you can see the attached document for a picture of our guest speaker: Maryn White
Talk with your Girl on the Run…
1. Let’s share three things about ourselves for which we are grateful.
2. Why is feeling gratitude a choice and not just something that happens?
3. What is a value both you and I share?
4. Did we always agree with each other? Can we still love each other, even when we disagree?
