Girls on the Run 5K: Bakersville students make strides toward ‘Confidence through Accomplishment’
Wrapping up another year of confidence and skill building with their annual 5K, Girls on the Run on Saturday welcomed 40 teams from around the state to Memorial Field, including 25 third and fourth-grade girls from Bakersville Elementary in Manchester.
In addition to Logue, the Bakersville coaching team included preschool teacher Lori Zibel; EL teacher Gabby Zaki; and Kate Christie, a paraprofessional. Also supporting the effort were Mason Gilmartin, a behavior specialist, and CityYear Corps members, along with family and other staff who ran alongside the girls as “running buddies.”According to Girls on the Run website, the annual year-end celebratory 5K provides a tangible sense of accomplishment for all participants, regardless of their abilities.
“Crossing the finish line instills confidence through completion and is a joyful moment program participants always remember!” – Girls on the Run
Students and staff from Bakersville assembled for a group shot to commemorate the Girls on the Run 5K 2023.
