Cheering Girls on the Run Photo Contributed
Girls from three Chantilly schools completed the Girls on the Run 5k presented by Cigna on Saturday, Nov. 19. The 5k is the culminating event for girls who have spent the fall season participating in a curriculum which integrates running to help increase confidence, create positive connections with peers and coaches, and help students connect with their communities. Girls on the Run teams from Brookfield, Poplar Tree, and St. Veronica Elementary Schools completed the 5k at Pfitzner Stadium in Woodbridge along with more than 2,100 other Girls on the Run participants, coaches, and family members.
