Beyond Running

As we mention frequently, SRO isn't "just" -- or even primarily -- about training for a marathon. SRO is a mentoring program, and we've been working hard to train not just for a race, but, as our motto says, training for life, one step at a time.

We're in the middle of a couple of weeks that really exemplify this commitment. Last Thursday, parents and families attended our second Parents Meeting. We're working together to support and ensure all students meet new challenges and exceed expectations. Last weekend, after our run, we participated in shoreline clean up at Martin Luther King Shoreline.


This week and next, students will hear presentations from teens at the Thunder Road teen alcohol and drug recovery program. And this coming Friday, we'll have an ice skating event, just as a chance to relax, laugh, and have fun together.


Then Sunday May 3rd it's our 20 mile run – the last long run prior to the marathon in a few short weeks!

Students and Volunteers, as always, it's a pleasure building a community with you.
