American Girl Tea Time
It's that special time of year again! The Girls Inc. American Girl Tea is coming
up on April 24!
Each spring girls are hand picked at the center to serve at and lead the Girls
Inc. American Girl Tea. This year girls were picked from the 3rd, 4th, and 5th
grade based on attitude, program participation, and character. These girls will
now spend each Wednesday after school learning proper tea etiquette and
manners.
Everyone is encouraged to join in the fun! Tea and hors d'oeuvres will be
served at the party, and a number of special American Girl door prizes will be
awarded.
Tickets to the tea will be available as the date approaches. Don't forget to
mark your calendars!

Winter Sports Leagues Kick Off
Girls had to wait a couple of weeks to begin basketball and volleyball leagues
due to bad weather, but they are in the swing of it now! Because of the delayed
start to practices, the league seasons have been extended. Volleyball will now
end on May 11, and basketball ends on May 12. Parents, please be aware of
this change, and also remember there will be no sports leagues during Spring
Break.
Gymnastics Update
Please note that due to the weather-related canceled gymnastics practices,
Girls Inc. Gym Stars were charged only half for February. If you had already
paid full price for the month, your March bill will be credited accordingly.
Program Highlight: Maria Horner in Wonders of Science
Every Thursday, the 4th and 5th graders welcome Maria Bowman Horner into
their Operation SMART Wonders of Science program to explore all kinds of
science-based curiousities.
The girls have enjoyed some great hands-on experiments this semester
including building their own zoo and being their own meteorologist. During
one such activity, participants studied the five senses by learning to sign their
name in American Sign Languauge, write and feel their name in Braille, and
identify a variety of foods using smells, touch, and taste.
Maria has gained popularity in the center, and she is well received by the
Wonders of Science participants! We greatly appreciate all that she does for
Girls Inc. of Shelbyville/Shelby County. Thank you for your time and effort, Maria!
