CAMP E.N.G.A.G.E.

Enabling Girls with

Academics, Good Behavior,

and Encouragement

 This week we are doing a Girls' Camp at Calhoun called ENGAGE. Mrs. O'Neal, a fellow fifth grade teacher, came up with the idea. I am just her side kick! :) Today was our first day and it was a HUGE success. Below are the goals for the camp, and a video of today is at the end. ENJOY! We look forward to the rest of the week. We have a lot of things in store for these 4th and 5th grade girls! Thanks Mrs. O'Neal for getting it all together and allowing me to be apart!
