New Beginnings-Virtue Academy

We had New Beginnings for our girls on Wednesday. Our theme was Virtue Academy and the girls helped out a lot. They worked on a skit to perform, made backdrops, and helped decorate the room the day of the event.
I conducted the meeting and did the Welcome, Sister Wright talked about the changes to Personal Progress, Natallie and Emily both gave talks, Ally gave the Mutual Theme for the year, and Avery gave the Young Women's Theme. Then they all did their skit and did a fabulous job! Afterward, we had snacks of pbj sandwiches, apples, pudding cups, and juice. I also gave everyone a little tile with our theme on it for this year which is from Joshua 1:9-Be strong and of a good courage, be not afraid neither be thou dismayed, for the Lord thy God is with ye withersoever thou goest.

Here is our table with books decorated for each of the YW values.
The tiles for each girl and the incentives each girl can get if she works on her
Personal Progress and finishes experiences and projects.

The banners were made by Sister Wright and have each of the YW values
on them. On the piano are the lockers the girls colored for part of their skit.

Here is my 1st Counselor, Kristy, looking amazing as usual
and the other banners and backdrops for the skit.
