Girls on the Run

On Sunday, May 20th, the Timber Lane Girls on the Run teams ran the Girls on the Run 5k at George Mason University.  Twenty-three girls from Timber Lane ran and finished the race!  We had parents, siblings and staff who joined the girls as buddy runners and ran the race.   The girls practiced every Monday and Thursday morning for ten weeks to prepare for the race.  During each GOTR session the girls learned lessons about bullying prevention, healthy body image and how to be a good citizen and friend.  We are very proud of the girls and their buddy runners.
