The weather didn’t dampen the spirits of two hundred and fifty girls from District 16 schools who, on Wednesday May 30th, spent several hours at the Annual Go Girl Festival at Miramichi Valley High School. Through the morning and into the early afternoon the girls from grades 6 to 9, played tennis, ran, biked, climbed, skipped, swam, explored and danced their time away. Leaders from schools and the community provided a smorgasbord of activities in order to help the girls understand just how important vigorous activity is as a component of their daily life.
