'Girls on the Run' meet at Fouse Elementary School every Tuesday and Thursday to learn lessons about friendship, self-image and healthful living. They are also training to run in a 5K on May 11.
Girls on the Run® at Fouse Elementary School are hard to miss. Wearing bright pink T-shirts, the group gathers after school each Tuesday and Thursday to participate in activities that nurture friendship, positive self-image and healthful living. They also run around their school several times, as they are in training to participate in a 5K county-wide event that will take place on May 11 at Genoa Park in downtown Columbus. Further information about that event can be found at www.girlsontherunfranklincounty.org/5k/. The group at Fouse was started by parent Amy Deibel. Other coaches include parents Rene Smith, Missy Callow, Erica Wares and teachers Heather Scheurer and Heather Griffith.
