Seeking Coaches for Let Me Run

We are hoping to hold a Let Me Run club this fall at GBW, in the morning before school. We need volunteers (being an avid runner is NOT a requirement!) to coach either once or twice a week to make it happen!

Let Me Run is building a new generation of men by teaching boys to be their best selves through a character development program powered by running. 4th-6th grade boys will run and complete lessons on things like expressing emotions, showing affection, building friendships, and connecting with others. LMR is national non-profit that provides coach training, curriculum, and materials needed for lessons! Contact Site Liaison Mary Beth Drum mbdrum@fcps.edu to sign up, for just seven weeks starting late Septemb
