Helen Baller Elementary students take a break from training to run a 5K, to apply sunblock at Doc Harris Stadium in Camas. The students in third through fifth grades participate in the Girls on the Run International program, which seeks to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident.

The sounds of cowbells, hoots and hollers and shouts of encouragement recently filled the air at Camas’ Doc Harris Stadium. The enthusiastic applause was directed to students from Helen Baller Elementary School, who ran three miles around the track.

Songs, including Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” and Alicia Keys’ “Girl on Fire” played at the finish line.
