The Spring 2011 Girls on the Run season was a huge success. Twenty girls in grades 3-6 participated in the program. The team met twice a week for ten weeks. The program teaches the girls healthy eating habits, the importance of exercise, friendship skills, anti-bullying messages and community service. On Sunday, May 15, the girls ran a 5k race at George Mason University with 3000 other girls. The girls and buddy runners all finished the race with huge smiles on their faces.
