GIRLS GOING PLACES
We are excited to announce the fall edition of a club for girls interested in running and creating a
successful future. Girls Going Places will meet once a week for nine weeks from 3:25-4:35.
They will spend their time discussing topics to help girls build a positive self-esteem, increase
their running ability and other related activities. This club is for students at any physical ability,
so don’t worry if you can’t run, come and walk with some of your peers. Group discussions will
be led by EMS faculty and a few guest speakers. The goal is to improve ourselves while having
fun!! Attached please find the permission slip for this club.
