Girls on the Run at Waverly Elementary School this Fall!
Girls on the Run® is a life-changing, experiential learning program for girls in
third to eighth grade. The programs combine training for a 3.1 mile running event
with self-esteem enhancing, uplifting workouts. The goals of the programs are to
encourage positive emotional, social, mental, spiritual and physical development.
The lessons promote self-challenge instead of competition; self-worth instead of
societal worth; and cooperation instead of rivalry. Our mission is to inspire girls
to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum
which creatively integrates running. Starting the week of Sept. 21st, the girls will
meet after-school twice a week for approximately 10 weeks with the season
ending Celebration 5k on December 6th at 8:30am (date tentative).
Waverly will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:455:00PM starting the week of September 21st. Register now as spots
are filling up quickly! To register your daughter, go
to www.gotrcentralmd.org and click on register!
Looking for Assistant Coaches and volunteers for this season! If you
are interested in supporting this incredible program as an assistant coach or
volunteer, please contact [email protected].

NEW! Disney’s Beauty and the Beast Jr.by Columbia Center for Theatrical Arts

Howard County Recreation & Parks has teamed up with Columbia Center for
Theatrical Arts to produce Disney’s Beauty and the Beast Jr.! “Be our guest”
and step into this enchanted world! Travel to the heart of a quaint French
town, where Belle, a beautiful and intelligent young woman, yearns for
something more than her provincial life. When her father Maurice becomes
lost in the woods on the way to present his latest invention at a local fair,
he seeks shelter in an old castle but is soon taken captive by the master of
the house, a horrible Beast. Belle surrenders her freedom to save his life
and, by taming the Beast, teaches him the meaning of love. The production
is the culmination of a series of classes designed to breathe the love of
theater into a new generation. This program immerses you in weeks of
