Girls at Carl Cozier
Elementary in third through fifth grade have the opportunity to participate in
a three-month program to improve their physical activity as well as their
confidence and mental development.
Girls on the Run is a non-profit organization that teaches young girls in the United
States and Canada about maintaining a physically active lifestyle, making good life
decisions and improving the girls’ self esteem and confidence in herself.
The program
costs $125 and starts on April 7th through June 7th. At
the end of the three-month course, each girl will participate in a
five-kilometer run.
In 2013, 1,800 volunteers
helped more than 1,500 girls in Washington
participate in the Girls on the Run program. There are currently eight
councils, or teams, in Washington, with the closest being the Girls on the Run
of Northwest Washington supported through the Whatcom County YMCA.
Program lessons will be held
at Carl Cozier on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3-4 p.m.

few other nearby elementary schools participating in the program include:
