Brrrrr . . . it was a chilly morning for a run! But these Fred Assam Elementary girls along with their moms, dads, brothers, grandmothers . . . ended their Girls On The Run season with a fun 5K run this past Sunday morning. Girls On The Run is a national non-profit organization that uses a researched curriculum of lessons, games, activities, and non-competitive running to teach life lessons and to enhance self-esteem and build confidence in young girls. Lessons include topics in positive thinking, being a good friend, making healthy decisions, standing up for oneself, gossiping and bullying issues, healthy eating and positive body image, setting goals, understanding diversity and community awareness - many topics important to girls of this age!
These girls, in grades 3 - 5 participated for 10 weeks. They met after school on Tuesday & Thursday each week. Congratulations ~ to ALL of the runners ~ we are proud of you!!
