Don't forget!

We are excited to announce that Irving will be starting a Girls on the Run team for girls in grades 3–5! Girls on the Run is a fun, confidence-building program that combines physical activity with social-emotional learning. Throughout the season, participants will engage in interactive lessons, team-building activities, and running games that focus on topics such as self-esteem, resilience, friendship, and goal setting. The team will be coached by 4 of our very own school teachers. The season ends with a celebratory 5K in Springfield. Additional information regarding 5K logistics will be shared at a later date. This event gives girls a powerful sense of accomplishment and pride. We can’t wait to bring this empowering program to our Irving community and support our girls as they grow stronger inside and out! Please note: guardians will be responsible for student pick-up after practices. Girls on the Run believes every girl deserves the opportunity to participate. No girl is ever turned away due to an inability to pay, and financial assistance and payment plans are available. Please check out the attached flyer for additional information, including registration dates and fees, practice days and times, and details about financial assistance. For any questions please contact Ryann Querio, School Social Worker
