The school’s fall Girls on the Run team recently put their training to the test, completing the practice run in preparation for their final 5K celebration later this month. The practice event gave participants an opportunity to build confidence, test their endurance and celebrate the progress they have made throughout the season. Special guests Mrs. Brewer and Mrs. Bartlett joined the students for the run, offering encouragement and support along the way. Girls on the Run is a national nonprofit program designed to inspire girls to build confidence, develop healthy habits and strengthen important life skills through physical activity and teamwork. The program concludes with a celebratory 5K that recognizes each participant’s hard work and personal growth.
