The World Around Us...

We were SO proud of the hard work the girls put into the Mock 5k that we celebrated their big accomplishment during the next practice by playing Wii and setting some goals for how to move forward.  It was both a fun and productive day!  

Since then, though, we've been talking about some more serious subjects... for example, how the media and advertisements show girls and women, and how to look at those images in a healthy way.  As the girls move into these critical middle school years, media images and pressure to look good can be strong, and understanding how to "tune into a new message" of self-confidence and positivity despite what surrounds you is key!  

Finally, the girls are SUPER excited about their Community Impact Project!  Lots of planning, laughter, and ideas went into the GOTR Nail Salon that will be taking place next Wednesday here are BRES from 4:15-5:15!  We hope to see you there as the girls paint nails to raise money for children with cancer!
