A group of girls from Central Middle School recently completed a 10-week Girls on the Run program, which culminated with a 5K on June 9.

The program helps the girls develop and recognize their inner strength by using discussions, activities, and running games. It also helps the girls develop an appreciation for health and fitness.

Central Social Worker Bridgette Tucker served as the site coordinator/coach, alongside fellow coach and CMS 8th Grade ELA Teacher Jamie Cachor.
