Belle View Elementary Girls on the Run Team members Anja, grade 3, and Isabel, grade 6, are with their mother Coach Erica Beck at the Mother’s Day Flower Power 5K Race/Walk at Fort Hunt Park. More than $535 in proceeds from the event was donated to benefit UCM’s Mount Vernon Kids programs, by race host The Fun Runz.

For their community service impact project, the Girls on the Run (GOTR) Team at Belle View Elementary decided to provide school supplies and backpacks to benefit the Back to School program at United Community Ministries. The team conducted bake sales at the school that generated a $300 donation to UCM. They also hosted a backpack drive, collecting a total of 35 new backpacks for students whose families are struggling to make ends meet. The GOTR team is pictured at their recent end of the year party at their school.
