“Girls on the Run is a fun and non-competitive after-school program that promotes healthy lifestyles and self-esteem in third through sixth grade girls. An innovative curriculum combines physically active games with lessons on healthy habits, teamwork, self-respect and goal setting while girls train to complete a 5K run/walk”
If you are interested in volunteering to help with this great program please contact Kyli Heiting at kyli.heiting@hshawks.com or 638-4434. We could use volunteer help for our practice 5K, cheering the girls on, and as running buddies for the end of the season 5K.

There are 15 to 20 Christmas songs that most people know. Hope you can partake in this wonderful event to get you into the Christmas spirit.
