This is the culmination of the program and gives participants a tangible sense of accomplishment, recognizing their inner strengths and celebrating what makes each one of them unique!

YOUR GOTR GIRL’S LEARNING JOURNEY: AT HOME AND BEYOND

In Lessons 13-20 of Hello, Superstar! your child will learn to see the world through different perspectives, recognizing that everyone has their own unique view and practicing how to put themselves in others’ shoes. They’ll explore what it means to be an includer, understanding the importance of making everyone feel valued, and strengthen their teamwork skills with a special communication tool to help them work together effectively. During their Community Impact Project, your child will identify their strengths, practice gratitude, and use their Star Power to make a positive difference in their community, all while celebrating how far they’ve come and the power of shining together!

Ask an Expert from HCA HealthONE

Daylight Savings is around the corner. Be sure to FALL BACK on Sunday, November 2! Our friends at HCA HealthONE have some great suggestions to ensure adequate sleep for young athletes. 

“Athletes need an appropriate amount of sleep for optimal health and peak performance,” explains Rachel Brewer, MD, a pediatric sports medicine physician (and Girls on the Run coach) with Rocky Mountain Pediatric OrthoOne. “Research shows that sleep increases speed, accuracy and reaction times in athletes. Additionally, sleeping less than the recommended approximately eight hours each night increases the risk of injury.”
