Kolmar has a new club that’s off to a running start—literally! Thanks to the support of Ms. Koster, our enrichment teacher, and Ms. Waclaw, one of our 5th grade teachers, a new chapter of Girls on the Run has officially launched. Ms. Koster and Ms. Waclaw invited 5th grade girls to join them after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Each session begins with a healthy snack and warm-up before the girls head outside for their run.
Girls on the Run is a national organization. It helps young girls become ‘mountain movers,’ using the power of ‘I can,
explained Ms. Koster. The club is not only about running—it’s also about building confidence, teamwork, and resilience. The girls are currently training for a 5K race taking place at Jackson Park on Saturday, November 8th. Staff members are invited to support the girls by joining them for a run or simply cheering them on during any of the Tuesday or Thursday sessions. What a great way to empower and encourage our 5th grade girls at Kolmar!
