Essex High School's new program, The Circle of Friends, participated in this year's sponsored event Dream Big: Walk, Run, Roll 5K and it was a resounding success!
As a whole, the group ran, walked, or rolled a total of 245 laps around the EHS track which is the equivalent of 62 miles or 20 5K's! All donations to this event support the event's sponsor, Vermont Adaptive, which is part of a nationally recognized organization that empowers people of all abilities through inclusive sports and recreational programming.
Circle of Friends is part of a nationwide effort to create more opportunities for social interactions between students of all profiles in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Together, both Vermont Adaptive and Circle of Friends formed a successful partnership and the students were thrilled!
