"For Our Girls" Fun Run/Walk

For the 5th year, both students and staff of Shawnee High School, led by Peg Havens, have put on the For Our Girls Fun Run/Walk.

For the 5th year, the weather was cool and rainy, but though it may have hampered the preparation efforts, it couldn't dampen the spirits of the participants.
