Girls, Inc. “Power 2 The Girls” did not disappoint on Saturday! Some of the girls from Forestridge Elementary and Liberty Junior high boarded a bus and headed to UTD for the conference. The energy in the building was amazing.
They learned the journey of the keynote speaker, Alena McQuarter, who was a NASA intern and high school graduate at 12! One of them even won a drone; the girls had such a good time that they weren’t ready to leave. In their Unapologetic session, they were encouraged when every person in the room spoke with intentionality, “I don’t shrink, I show up!”
The girls who boarded the bus that morning were not the same girls who returned that afternoon. They had elevated confidence and pride in themselves; it was amazing to see it all unfold.
At Forestridge, we are “Rooted in Learning. Growing with Purpose.”
