Mason Girls on the Run send message to senior caregivers
Mason's Jennifer Pisani and Teresa Marinakas coached a grades 3-5 Girls on the Run Team this spring, which was not just about running. They sent this special message to our local nursing care and senior living facilities:
"Our girls were introduced to the benefits of running, healthy life choices, lessons on empathy, friendship, support of others, and finding one's star power! The culminating event was a 5-K run held May 15 that included over 1,000 girls and "running buddies" from many Stark County schools.
In addition, the girls were asked to choose a project that would reach out to the community. Our team of girls chose to extend a special message to the hard workers of nursing homes and senior care. Many of the girls' moms work in the local nursing homes and care facilities. The idea was created and produced by the girls, and it is so very uplifting.
We'd appreciate it if you would please share this PSA with your staff. We think you will love it, and we hope the employees find it as a message of support and a virtual hug!
Thank you for all that you do in caring for others. We appreciate your service."
