BUILD HER UP was an interactive day for grades 5-8 girls to explore new movements, try new sports in a safe environment, meet amazing female leaders, and understand how to build themselves and others up through sport and physical activity.
The day consisted of a physical literacy session, sport stations run by local Markham clubs, an in-class session, a parent session, as well as a special appearance by Olympian, Charmaine Crooks!
