Meet Marvelous Mila, a 2024 participant from Mendota Elementary!

"Girls on the Run makes me feel SO happy about myself. All of the teachers teach me to never give up, always help a friend, and to not say, 'I can't do something' when in reality, I can. Instead, I can say, 'I can't do this YET." ~Mila

Her teachers, including assistant principal Beth Anderson, shared that Mila gained confidence, friendships, and a real sense of belonging with the program, something she hasn't previously experienced at school. 

Please join us in thanking Mila for sharing her amazing star power with us!!
