Girls on the Run
Girls on the Run has a few important events coming up as our season winds down.
Our 5K is on Wednesday, May 17, after school! If you're interested, please stop by to cheer on the girls. We'll be meeting on the blacktop behind the school around 3:45 p.m. We will be running the Mileage Club course. We could use a couple of adults to help monitor the route. Let us know if you'd be able to help out! Here is the SignUpGenius link if you are interested in helping us out. We’d love to see you there!
Also, our Community Impact Project this year is a book drive! We will be collecting books through next week. These can be any kind of book (even for adults). We will be donating the books to an organization called Open Books. Open Books creates libraries in classrooms, supports community literacy events, and provides free books to students who lack access. Grants are available to educators and nonprofit workers serving low-income families and communities throughout Chicago. There will be boxes in each pod to collect the books. Thank you so much for your support!
Thanks!
Erin Quaid, Ashley Soukup, and Isabel Rubinas
