Be on the lookout for Girls on the Run!

Cheryl Catuto, teacher and site liaison for the school, will coordinate two teams: “Girls on the Run” for grades 3 through 5 and “Girls on Track” for grades 6 through 8. Each group meets twice a week to have lesson-based character education, self-esteem and health education.

The program provides a healthy snack at each lesson, and a physical activity to help prepare them for the 5K at the end of the session. The girls also have to come up with a community service project at the end of the lessons as well. Students may begin sign-ups in January.
