Personal Progress Page Update

Hello, Young Women!

I just completed posts about all the activities we've done as a group in the past 2 years that correspond to a Personal Progress experience. You can find a list of them on the Personal Progress tab, HERE. As we complete more activities for personal progress, we will include them on the Personal Progress tab.

Please take a few minutes to check out the Personal Progress tab to see which experiences you've started but not finished. If you click on each link, it will tell you what you've done and what you still need to do to finish that particular experience.

I'd like to challenge you all to try to finish all the ones you've started before school begins! You can do it! We'll be working on Personal Progress during Mutual in a few weeks, and we're going to check your progress at that time. Good luck!

Choice & Accountability: Modest Fashion Project

Value Project:  Choice & Accountability (It's the 1st suggested project on p. 50 of your book)
Dates: Summer 2011
Leaders: Sister Stevens, Olsen, and Davis

We have been working on a 3-part Modest Fashion project for Choice & Accountability.

Part 1:  Modest Fashion Lesson and Handout
Date: May 25, 2011
Participants: Maya, Linly, Callie, Kylie, Michaela, Olivia, Jessica, Rachel 

We learned and discussed why it's important to be modest using "For the Strength of Youth" and various talks on modesty. Then we learned ways to modify modern clothing to be modest and fashionable and we discussed where to find modest clothing. Click HERE for information from the handout.

Part 2:  Making Peek-a-Boo Slips
Date: June 20, 2011
Participants:  Michaela, Linly, Cassie, Jessica, Rachel, Jerri, Cherrish, Valera

We used this tutorial to make Peek-a-Boo slips with lace that is meant to extend below the length of short skirts to make them long enough! We made them in white so they will match several different skirts or dresses.

Part 3:  Modest Fashion Show
Coming Soon! Begin preparing your 3 outfits using the techniques you've learned to modify clothing to be more modest:  1) A dressy outfit; 2) A school outfit; 3) An active wear outfit
