NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED SPEAKER
In our social media-fueled world, all too many of us struggle with issues of body image/insecurity, including eating disorders and disordered eating. Please consider joining the JHS XC/TF teams this coming Tuesday, March 1st @ 7 PM in the JHS Auditorium as we welcome nationally-recognized speaker/author/athlete/coach, Rachael Steil as she shares her journey of recovery from a debilitating eating disorder. While she will be speaking from the perspective of an athlete and coach in Cross Country and Track & Field, her message is one of hope and strength for anyone struggling with issues related to body image.
