🌟 Girls on the Run is officially underway! 🩷🏃‍♀️

Our Jets had an amazing time kicking off Girls on the Run with Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Romo, Mrs. Michel, Mrs. Trejo, and Mrs. Terry! The girls gathered in a circle to build connections through meaningful conversations about healthy habits, confidence, and teamwork before jumping into fun, active games.

We’re excited to watch these incredible young ladies grow stronger, build lasting friendships, and discover that they can accomplish anything they set their minds to. 💪✨

Way to go, Jets! We can’t wait to see all you’ll achieve this season! 💙✈️
