ITEM FORGOT TO ADD TO LIST

Saturday morning the girls asked for cereal……

So instead of bringing up a bunch of boxes each girl is responsible for bringing their favorite cereal in a zip lock.

These will be collected on their arrival so that no food is left in the tabins.

FOOD + BUGS AND ANIMALS + SLEEPING ARES= not good.

A HUGE THANK YOU GOES OUT TO MRS. ADAMS

She lead us in a presentation surrounding the book Listen to the Wind. This book was about one man’s mission to bring education to the children of Pakistan.

Girls used maps to locate the country as well as learned the history behind this war torn nation and its effects on girls their own age.

Each girl was able to choose a Henna tattoo after learning about the significance of them in the Pakistani culture.

She also prepared pita, two types of hummus as well as pistachios, all foods from the area.

(Thank you Claire for the strawberries and Chips….. They went so well with the hummus. )




In addition: The girls will be donating a copy of Listen to the Wind to both Ames and Blythe school libraries in honor of Dr. Paul Roach, Mollies Uncle who is serving overseas
