Two girls stand side by side, smiling proudly with medals around their necks, against a "Girls on the Run Piedmont" banner featuring flowers and the phrase "FINISHER #GOTRPiedmont5K" above them. The girl on the left wears a white "Girls on the Run" T-shirt over a black long-sleeve shirt, black leggings, and black sneakers. The girl on the right wears a dark "Paris Dance" sweatshirt, black leggings, and black sneakers. Both look happy and accomplished.

A young girl stands on the edge of a baseball field with a bright smile, holding up a medal. She wears a white t-shirt with colorful text that says "better together" and has a purple ribbon around her neck attached to the medal. The background shows a stadium setting with a few people and a large screen. The day is overcast, and the field’s green grass contrasts with the brown dirt track where she is standing.

A group of five young girls walks together down a sidewalk alongside a red-brick building, with their backs facing the camera. The girls are casually dressed, chatting and enjoying each other's company. In the background, a yellow school bus is parked on a grassy area, and a row of small houses is visible under a partly cloudy sky, creating a peaceful, suburban setting.

For Veterans Day, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Officer John Hunter! He served 8 years in the U.S. Marine Corps, and now he serves as our dedicated school security officer. Thank you for your service and commitment to our community!
