Registration is underway for the spring season of the Girls on the Run Lancaster-Lebanon. Girls on the Run (GOTR) is an organization for girls in third through eighth grades. “We have our Girls on the Run curriculum, which is third through fifth grades, and we have our Heart and Sole curriculum, which is for girls in sixth through eighth grades,” said program director Kylie Homan. “Girls should register because we are a program that utilizes a research-based curriculum to support girls in understanding their emotions, fostering friendships, and expressing empathy.” Homan prefers that girls register by the start of the season on Monday, March 9. Sign-ups will close on Saturday, March 14. Go to www.gotrlancasterlebanon.org to sign up or for additional information. There is a standard fee to participate in GOTR, but there is some flexibility. “We emphasize families pay what they can given their current circumstances,” said Homan. “We want to make sure that our program is accessible to girls and that there’s no barriers for anybody to participate. There are no forms, no applications to fill out. Their selection of financial assistance is just part of the registration process, and they have the opportunity to select their payment amount.” The fee includes the cost of training coaches, the curriculum for Girls on the Run International, and all of the lesson materials that are provided to the coaches. Girls receive a take-home journal with
