50% of girls experience bullying such as name calling and exclusion. The Girls on the Run
program inspires self-assurance just as confidence levels begin to dip. Between team-building
activities, coach mentorship and goal setting, this program reassures participants that
their uniqueness is what makes them powerful. Unlock your girl’s limitless potential this season
by joining us at Illini. Please contact Mrs. Heidelberg (heidelberg.k@dist110.com) or Ms. Knepper (knepper.j@dist110.com) with any questions or concerns. Girls on the Run is So Much Fun!
