Back to School BREAKFAST.

July 23, 2012 | Uncategorized

Yes…school starts tomorrow.
{Can you BeLiEvE it?!}
I had our Young Women over on Saturday morning for a little Back to School Breakfast.
I wanted something to get them motivated…both spiritually and physically….for the new school year.
Here’s a peek at some of the details:

I  covered the tables with red and white polka dot wrapping paper, found in the $1 bins at Michaels.
The brown paper bags that the utensils are placed in are from Hobby Lobby.
My ‘place mats’ are 12 x 12 pieces of scrapbook paper.
Handwriting strips are from the Dollar Tree.
The printable circles are from TomKat Studio.
Water bottle labels are from Tip Junkie via Love Party Printable.
Pencil tags are from eighteen25.
As for centerpieces, I did an assortment of apples, crayons and glue sticks.
{Because if THAT doesn’t scream Back To School…I dunno WHAT does, right?}
Silver chalkboard pails were found in the $ bins at Target.
Framed printable is from eighteen25.
As the girls arrived, I had them each take my 
BACK TO SCHOOL is COOL quiz.
Prizes {extras of what our YW closet has collected in the last year} were given out to the top 3 highest scores.  It was a good little sumthin to keep the girls occupied while the food finished and everyone arrived.
Update 8/4/15 *** YOU CAN NOW DOWNLOAD
 A COPY OF MY
FREE PRINTABLE QUIZ HERE!!!!
 
Printable banners are from TomKat Studio.
As for the spread – we served: Blueberry muffins, fresh fruit, Egg and Hashbrown casserole and French Toast Roll ups.

Once the girls were finished eating, we had a small ‘program‘ of sorts.
My counselors and I each took a couple of ‘subjects‘ and spent 5-10 minutes discussing.
Subjects covered were:

Fashion Merchandising – modesty
English – not swearing and not gossiping
P.E. – Praying Earnestly
Social Studies – making good friends
Creative Writing – keeping a good journal 

I wrapped up the morning by showing THIS message.
It’s my all time favorite and I really felt like the girls could benefit from seeing and hearing it.
COME WHAT MAY AND LOVE IT.
That’s what I enoucraged them to do this  year…despite their trials and adversities that may come with friends, classes, teachers….
COME WHAT MAY AND LOVE IT.
Don’t we have THE CUTEST girls?!?
Linking up to Lil Luna.
