About

MISSION
To promote healthy bodies, healthy minds, and healthy hearts through running, reading, and caring.

Fit Girls is a running, reading, and caring program for 4th and 5th grade girls. It operates for 6 weeks after school in the fall and the spring. All 4th and 5th grade girls in Franklin County are invited to join in the fun! A positive attitude and willingness to participate is the only requirement. We spent time outside together to grow in our own strength, fruit and vegetable intake, and support for one another and the world we live in. A quality book is also given to each participant and its various wholesome messages are integrated into each session.

Vision

Girls feel empowered to be themselves, make healthful choices for their bodies in relationship with nature, and connect the message of taking care of themselves, each other, and the earth.
