More Than Pink

More Than Pink is a program to inspire girls who have completed 3rd grade through completed 6th
grade to stay true to themselves and live free from societal stereotypes.
This 8-week program innovatively weaves training for a 5K run with
lessons that empower girls to celebrate their bodies, honor their voices
and embrace their gifts. All athletic types are welcome. More Than Pink
works around summer schedules, camps and vacations. Even if girls
are going to be gone for a day or for a week they are still able to
participate in the program. Information that is missed on certain topics
will be handed out to the girls so they will still get the information. A
More Than Pink day consists of 50 minutes of a fun fitness activity & 50
minutes of a life lesson. This is an 8-week program that meets 3 days
per week. Topics include: self-worth, body image, nutrition, healthy
relationships, cyber safety and more. Community partners will speak
with girls on a Topic Talk lesson in their field of expertise. Space is limited so please register early to
ensure a spot.
No classes will be held July 3rd, 4th, & 5th.
Deadline to register is May 21.
More Than Pink Goals:
1. To help girls grow and develop physically, mentally, and socially with local community support.
2. To empower girls to be true to themselves-at home, school, self-image, friends, and activities.
Provide resources and tools to help them not succumb to peer pressure, live with less stress, and
become who they want to be.
3. To measure fitness goals throughout the 8-week program. Each girl will see their ability to
improve fitness levels and increase knowledge and awareness of how important fitness is to one's
health.
The program builds throughout the summer and culminates in the girls, along with community
partners and supporters, running a celebratory More Than Pink 5K on Thursday, August 3rd. This is
not a competitive race but a celebration of empowerment and inspiration! Registration for the MTP
5K is included in the program fee.

Gas Wise Kids: the 411 on the 811
You probably never think about how you
get natural gas and water to your home.
But hidden beneath the ground are miles

and miles of utility pipe. It’s like an underground highway. This class makes kids aware of
underground utilities and teaches them ways to be safe and help others be safe through a variety of
videos, worksheets and hands-on demonstration! Students will start the day in the classroom learning
basic properties of natural gas and how underground utilities are delivered to your home. We’ll also
talk about conservation. Then we’ll venture out of the classroom where students will have a hands on
chance to try out utility equipment and experience what it’s like to be a real utility worker. Registration
required. Deadline to register July 18th.
