First Meeting as 1st Grade Daisies!

16 girls. What was I thinking? Whew, we made it through! Chaos is always expected at the first meeting but once we got the room situation handled, the meeting went really well. Ok, ok, I make it sound so bad but really I LOVE it!!

Brandy, remind me to neeeeverrrr have **coffee** before a meeting again!

Tonight we got to meet all of our new girls, and got to see the girls that all go to different schools. Can I just say that half of the girls I hardly recognized?!? I mean, they look the same but oh my! have they grown up so much! My super shy Havana?? She talked my ear off and Anna wanted nothing to do with mom anymore! What happened to these girls? I love it! I love seeing them grow and get stronger as little independent people!

After hellos we discussed Respecting Authority and what that really means. The girls really got it. And then we voted on visiting a fire station or a police department. MUCH to the disappointment of the all of the moms in the room, the girls picked the police station. :( We will have fun, lots of it, but darn!

Next scheduled meeting will have to be moved due to Beethoven's Back to School Night. Bummer, but we will be starting the next Journey when we get back.

I am super grateful for having Brandy. She is a life saver! And I am super grateful for the new moms that want to help with the girls, without them I couldn't take on these kids and they would not be able to be with us, so thank you a million times over!

So until next time, I need to not be such a slacker, get all of my paperwork done for you (I know I promised a few of you to let you know how much you owe the troop, and a few of you a break down of costs-I promise to do it by the weekend), make my snack chart, and go get the rest of the Journey Books!

Thanks Brandy for offering to bring Snack next time and thank you Valerie for jumping in and rescuing me with it today!

Hugs and Junk,
Julie

Welcome Back FIRST GRADE Daisies!!!



I am getting so excited for the start of the year!



Welcome to our new Daisies and Daisy Families. Your girls are in for a whole lot of fun.

Brandy and I have been pretty busy getting everything ready and we can not wait to see you September 13th at 4:45pm in the Parent Center at Beethoven Elementary. We expect to have a full year with Girl Scouts releasing plenty of fresh material for Daisies to work on.

We are looking for parents that want to help, if you are interested please email me asap and let me know your availability.

See you soon!
