Earlier this year, the high school partnered with the elementary schools to start a Big Sibling mentoring program. The Covid pandemic had impacted younger students through alterations at home, at school, and with everyday activities. To help these younger children better cope with the many changes they faced, the Big Sibling Program matched RHS students (“Bigs”) with elementary students (“Littles”) who shared common interests. Meeting twice each week for 20-30 minutes each time, Bigs mentored their Littles in academics, organization, and/or socialization. In just the past five months, the program has grown rapidly, and we are now looking to expand it into the summer months and the 2021-2022 school year.

Please, see the flyers linked below regarding two spring sessions of Girls on the Run.

Fuel Her Potential!

Girls on the Run is a Social and Emotional Wellness program for girls in grades 3-5. We teach life skills through dynamic, conversation-based lessons and running games. The program culminates with the girls being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5k running event. The goal of the program is to unleash confidence through accomplishment while establishing a lifetime appreciation of health and fitness. Designed to allow every girl to recognize her inner strength, the Girls on the Run curriculum inspires girls to define their lives on their own terms. Throughout the season, the girls make new friends, build their inner confidence and celebrate all that makes them unique.
