Information on the upcoming season of Girls On The Run at Steck will be
coming home after winter break!
The new season will start in March and is open to girls in grades 3 through 5.
Practices are held Monday and Wednesday after school until 5:15pm.
This is a truly wonderful program that Steck is lucky to have! Though the
girls train for a 5k together, they also learn about self esteem, nutrition, and
how to be a good friend and teammate.
