SMART Girls

SMART Girls is one of our most popular programs.  Between Tutt and El Pomar we have about 40 young ladies involved, from ages 8 and up.  SMART Girls makes sure the girls of this generation are making the right decisions.  It’s a wonderful way for girls to: form a bond with one another; to talk about what’s going on in their home lives and at school; to discuss important issues like body image and emotions, friendships and relationships; and last but not least, it works on developing self confidence.

Ms. Sherrell has taken charge of Smart Girls in an amazing way.  The girls are always excited to sign up for the new season and see what she has in store.  This season’s program opened with a tea party. 

Cups were decorated for each girl, yummy tea was provided, as well as cookies and cucumber sandwiches. 

She also had the girls pass around a special package that was wrapped in about 20 layers of tissue paper. 

In the middle of the package was a prize, but in order to find out what it was, each girl had to unwrap a layer of tissue paper from the package and pass it on to the next girl.  The girl who unwrapped the last layer received the prize!  There was a lot of anticipation between the girls on who would be the last to unwrap the package.  Inside was a HUGE Crunch Bar.  Yumaroo!

Recently, Ms. Sherrell had the girls work on dream boards.  These boards help them visualize their dreams in a very literal way.  Look how amazing they turned out:

We plan to hang these up in a section of our club, and we’ll be sure to inform you when they are up (with plenty of pictures to prove it)!
