On Friday, we had an assembly to kick off our Fit Spirit program for girls in grades 6 to 8. The Fit Spirit's mission is to help teenage girls discover the advantages and enjoyment of taking part in physical activity in an environment that is positive, promotes a healthy self-image and is open to everyone.
Fit Spirit is a running training program for 8-10 weeks which includes multidisciplinary educational and motivational workshops for the students.
Girls who participate in the program, run during two lunchtimes a week (30 min) and are expected to also run once on the weekend. The girls are supervised by Ms. Andrade, Ms. Draper, Ms. Heath and Ms. Taebpour. Thanks to Ms. Andrade for her leadership in bringing this opportunity to Silver Stream PS.
