DeSales Students Prepare for Tacky Sweater Run
Members of the DeSales Catholic School Girls Running Club, named “DCS Gotta Blast” by its middle school members are preparing for their first 5k. They have been meeting weekly since September to build up to run in the Historic Palace’s Tacky Sweater 5k Run on Saturday, November 28th. In addition to the running, their training has included learning more about health and wellness and discussing self esteem. 7th Grade Student Delaney Adams said of the running club, “I didn’t think I’d like running, but through this club it is fun. We all encourage, help and cheer one another on.” With the physical fitness part down, the girls have been working on decorating their “tacky” sweaters or in this case old DeSales sweatshirts. This running club has about 20 members and is being overseen by DeSales Teachers and Alumni, Mrs. Cathy Fraass and Mrs. Karen Rahill.
