Holy Family has recently become a part of the Girls on the Run Program. We are the first Catholic School in the NW Suburbs to become a GOTR site!

Girls on the Run is a 12-week character-building program for adolescent girls. The objective of this program is to encourage pre-teen girls to develop self-respect and healthy lifestyles through running.

Our coaches use the Girls on the Run curricula to address all aspect of a girl’s life—physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and social. Our goal is to build girls’ self-esteem and well being to help them make good choices in life.

The program culminates in a non-competitive 5K run event for the whole family that gives the girls an overwhelming sense of teamwork and accomplishment.
