"Girls Can" group holds first meeting of the year
Girls Can, Tenacre's affinity group for fifth and sixth grade girls, had their first meeting of the 2024-2025 school year last Friday. At this first meeting, the participants learned about the group's purpose and history. Then, they completed a survey that asked about topics of interest, project ideas, and future opportunities to bring back alumna to speak (a past favorite). To end the meeting, the students made inspirational bracelets with short phrases (ex: joy, try, brave) to wear as a reminder of the group. -
