O

n Saturday, November 9th,
PT Solutions held the annual
Fit Girlz race at Mount Paran
Christian School. Participants
completed a 2-­mile run and
celebrated with a nice cup of hot
chocolate! The Fit Girlz program is de-­
signed to further self-­esteem, educate
on health with a fitness approach, and
perpetuate spirituality through wellness.
Director of the program, Dr. Emily Yake,
had Mount Paran girls– grades 1st
through 4th– meet on campus once a
week to train for the race. Emily edu-­
cated the girls on proper ways to
warm-­up for exercise, how to improve
running form and self-­esteem, and the
importance of spiritual wellness.

Each week, Fit Girlz ran together to ac-­
complish the final goal: the big, 2-­mile
race. On race day, the girls trotted
through the eagerly awaited finish line
and were met with goodie bags, hot
chocolate, and warm hugs from their
parents.
Way to go, Fit Girlz! PT Solutions would like
to thank Mt. Paran Christian School,
Coach Bonnie Roginsky, PT Solutions
coaches and staff, and all of the parents
who showed their support on race day!
