“GIRLS ON THE RUN PROGRAM — Girls in Grades 3-4 at E. C. Brooks Elementary School accomplished an amazing task, completing a 5K at Warwick City Park last weekend after participating in a 9-week afterschool program that focused on building self-confidence and inspiring relationships that value teamwork and mind/body connection through running!

Principal Jen Medeiros noted, “It was a freezing cold run, with high winds and many hills but the girls persevered through and we are so proud of what they achieved! A huge thank you to the families and staff for volunteering to run alongside our girls!” Go Brooks Bobcats!” -New Bedford Public Schools.
