Girls on the Run, an Update

Girls on the Run is a transformational physical activity based youth development program for girls in grades 3-5. It teaches life skills using interactive lessons and running games. 

The program culminates with the girls being\ prepared to complete a celebratory 5k running event. The goal of the program is to unleash confidence through accomplishment while establishing a lifetime appreciation of health and fitness.

The Hillsboro Optimist Club sponsors a team at Butter Nut Creek Elementary. Last year there were 17 girls. This year there are 43. 

That means they need more help… hint hint.
