Girls On The Run

Girls on the Run culminated its fall season with the Jingle Bell 5K run in Trumbull back in December. At top are the Girls on the Run, volunteers, parents and friends who ran with the girls on the 3.1-mile race. Below, Melanie Curtis races to the finish line with volunteer Lauren Elliott encouraging all the way. Girls on the Run is an experiential learning program for girls ages 8 to 10 (third to fifth grade) that combines training for a 5K running race with life-changing, self-esteem enhancing, uplifting warm-ups and workouts that encourage emotional, social, mental and physical development. The spring session began this month. Call coach Kelly Conte at 952-3859 for further information.
