Girls Inc. Olympics
The girls hosted their own Olympics in the Girls Inc. gym. Relay races, scooter races, and, of course, hockey.
Thank You SPAGHETTI WORKS for a great night out!
The girls gave everything – the food, the service, the atmosphere, (and the strawberry pop!) – a glowing review.
Spaghetti Works
Reading Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs works up an appetite. The GIRLStart girls went to Spaghetti Works to celebrate their hard work this year (and to eat spaghetti!).
