Activity Day Girls

Make sure to read the story of 8 year old Hailee and her choice to choose modest clothing!

End Of School Pool Party 2008

Primary Activity Day Girls

This tradition was started by my mom when she lived in The

Wellington Ward and was the Activity Day leader. At the end

of each school year, the girls gather for a pool party and

snacks. This year, it was held at the Bollinger's pool.

Great tradition!

I love seeing the growth in each girl from year to year. This

year seems to have gone particularly fast since it seems that

last year's party was a few weeks ago!

The Whole Group... This was a "get a shot while you can"

photo op. Getting this many excited little girls to hold still

for any length of time is a fete unto itself.

Hailee

Hailee told an incredible story in Primary today about her choice

to choose modest clothing. Her dance teacher told the girls

they had to wear a bikini for one of their costumes at the recital.

Hailee (without any coaching from her mom or dad) told the

teacher she would not wear the outfit. The teacher got angry with

her and told her she had to wear it and participate. Hailee

stood her ground even when the teacher told her she would

mess up the line-up and performance. Eventually, the teacher

changed the dance recital costume to a modest one all because

Hailee stood up for what she knew was right.

Hooray for Hailee....she is only 8 years old!!!! The world is in

great hands if we have girls like Hailee stepping forward to lead

in the future!!!

Activity Day

Primary Girls Activity Day

Activity Day...Activity Night...Achievement Day... Achievement Night.... I never remember the correct name...therefore, it is known as A-DAY at our house...even though it is held at NIGHT!

Last night was

Faith In God Recognition Night. A few months ago, the awesome leaders made and presented one of these Faith In God Canvas bags (below) to each girl. Each box contains one of the areas of focus and each jewel represents one of the goals accomplished in that area.

These bags are perfect for carrying their Scriptures, Faith In God Book, and Activity Day Notebook.

Last night, each girl was presented with a small treasure box containing the jewels she has earned. At the end of the program, they got to attach them to their Faith In God Bag in the corresponding box.

Here are the girls with their Treasure Boxes full of jewels. The presentation was perfect as no one knew exactly how many jewels each girl earned, thus eliminating competition, yet recognizing the efforts and progress of each girl.

Each girl also made a display about herself with items, posters, words, etc. It is fun to see what each girl is involved in.

Katherine was excited to see the Castle Cake that was part of the refreshments.

And one of our fearless leaders.....Patty.... soon you will not recognize her...she is truly melting every time I see her. Note the "Newlywed Glow" she carries!.
