Boys on The Run

Congratulations!

We have a new afterschool program starting out this year,  that is called  Boys on The Run Program,  which is run by Mr. Dan Clapper & Mr. Josh Kiser.  We want to thank them very much for working with our young boys in grades 3rd- 5th grade.  Right now currently there are 12 boys participating in the program, that takes place every Tuesday from 3:30-4:30pm.


Just to let everyone know the Girl Power Program is going on in the fall, which also focuses on Self-Esteem for Girls, and than in the Spring we will begin Girls on The Run as well.  So if any parent is interested in becoming a volunteer during the Spring, please let me know.
