Girls Club Rocks

McKenzie's first day of middle school starts in August.  Soon a new kind of anxiety will be introduced in her life... a whole new world of crazy, and hopefully exciting and new experiences.  But we know that middle school can be a major transition and a world of cruel too.  She isn't moving up to the same school as the kids from her 5th grade year.... and so that's where Girls Club fits in.  

Last year a friend of ours had the foresight to start this club for these 12 girls in surrounding schools that are also members of our faith.  Since last September they have rotated being 'host' and hung out once a month so that on that often cruel, awkward and nerve-wracking first days of middle school they have several friendly faces ready to help each other through the exciting and crazy of it all.  

Our turn was March... and we hosted a fabulous & fun scavenger hunt... and then made homemade pizzas and ice cream cookie sandwiches.

    this is such a great idea! Looks like they had fun too. My kids have loved starting middle school, but things do change...."dating" starts, and oh, the hormones. It's great to have solid, true friends who aren't interested in growing up too fast.
