If you haven't heard, our 6th grade Girls' Circle is already up and running. Tomorrow will be meeting #2 with our first group of girls. About 6-8 girls will be in each group and they will meet over lunch with Megan Thompson of the Young Women's Resource Center (YWRC). They meet for about 40 minutes as they eat lunch and miss only about 10-15 minutes of class. They work through a research-based curriculum over the course of 6-weeks which focus on topics of interest and importance to middle school girls such as body image, relationships, and the female body. I will be looking for girls who want to do this every 6 weeks and if we get enough interest, we will hold both 6th and 8th grade groups each week. I have not recruited the 8th grade girls as much yet, but plan to start talking to them this week and next. As I tell the girls, there aren't many opportunities in middle school where you get to eat a private lunch with some of your friends, have no boys bothering you, get to have some fun and learn at the same time. So, if your daughter is interested, please email or call and I can get them signed up. Look for more information to get sent home.
