Girls on the Run 

Girls on the run is an after school program for girls in grades 3-5 that promotes healthy choices for the mind, body, and soul. We are looking for one (or two!) coaches who would love to join us this year as we help our girls learn to accomplish a goal (running a 5k) and how to be strong physically and emotionally. We meet twice a week (Mondays and Wednesdays) after school until 4:15, however, 2 coaches lead practice on Monday, and the other 2 lead practice on Wednesday. If you are interested or just want to know more about it chat with Stephanie Cole or Jennifer Mokri and we can tell you all about it!
