Dear GOTR parents/guardians,
In Lesson 14, the girl’s explore different ways bullying can occur—physical, verbal and emotional. We also discuss tactics to use when being bullied or witnessing someone else being bullied. We encourage the “SBLR Strategy” from last week’s lesson as an effective way to respond to bullying. Next week we will focus on friendship and practicing our 5K
In Lesson 15, there are lots of things for us to discuss about friendship. Most importantly, we identify the qualities we look for in our friends and some of the struggles girls can face in a friendship. The girls also learn that it is important to choose friends. Intentionally cultivating a friendship is a powerful idea!
Important Information
Practice 5k
We will be having our practice 5k on Monday, April 27 at 4:15. We would love for you and anyone else to come support your daughter. You can run/walk with her or cheer her on from the sidelines. You can see the route on the attached map. The 5k route starts on the trail at Memorial Park, goes around Recreation Park and ends back where we started on the trail at Memorial park.

Talk with your Girl on the Run…
1. Have you ever met someone you just didn’t get along with? Why do you think that happens?
2. Let’s each say the name of one of our best friends and share why we choose to be friends with them!
3. Why is it important to treat others the way you want to be treated?
4. If someone is bullying you by spreading a rumor about you, what would you do? (SBLR strategy, tell an adult)
