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. The girls responded well and seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves. The event was a result of the combined efforts of School District 16,  NBCC Miramichi,  the Miramichi  Community Wellness & Recreation department and MANGO with support from local businesses. to see photos vist Go Girl Festival 2012 .
