This spring, 22 girls from Plymouth River Elementary completed their first Girls on the Run program. Through lessons that incorporate running, the program empowers girls to build life skills, confidence, connection, character, and a sense of contribution. 💪 The season culminated in a joyful 5K at Boston Common and a community impact project supporting the Teen Girls Home in Hingham. Girls on the Run is a program designed to help girls develop social, emotional, and physical skills while encouraging healthy habits and a positive self-image. We’ve seen incredible growth in the girls since the program began, making it a huge success at PRS. A highlight of the day was when the girls connected with WCVB’s Danae Bucci who loved their energy. Plans for a future studio visit are in the works. Big shoutout to our amazing coaches Nancy Bucey, Janette Harrington, Grace LeBlanc, Kathleen McDevitt and Amanda Egan! 👏

Last week, our 5th graders spent the day at Hingham Middle School for Move Up Day! They explored their future school, met some of their teachers, and heard from Principal Derek Smith about what a typical day is like at HMS. He shared what to expect in 6th grade and all the exciting after school clubs students can join. They also took part in a scavenger hunt, discovering important spots like the guidance office and the nurse's office while starting to feel more at home in their new school. We loved having you, Class of 2032. We cannot wait to see you at HMS this fall!
