• Girls on Track is a non-profit after school program that uses the power of running to help prepare girls for a lifetime of self respect and healthy living.  During the 10-12 week program, girls are empowered with a greater sense of achievement and a foundation to help them become strong, contented, and self-confident young women.  Along the way, the girls will train together to walk or run the Jingle Bell Rockin' Run 5K (3.1 miles)  in December in Kings Mountain.  If you have any questions please contact Missy Short rshort@clevelandcountyschools.org.
