All school year, Sadie has attended GA's at church on Wednesday nights. GA's stands for Girls in Action & it is for girls grades kindergarten - 5th grade where they learn about missions & discipleship. She has had a great group of about 10 girls throughout the year with 2 wonderful teachers, Mrs. Karen & Mrs. Linda. Last night was their last meeting of the year & they had a banquet where parents got to go with them:
Mrs. Linda was out of town but she had a thank you gift for Mrs. Karen:
We ate dinner & visited with friends before the ceremony started:
They called up each student by name & grade where they were given ribbons from their derby race & all of the patches they earned throughout the year:
They were able to earn their vest earlier in the year by memorizing their class motto, pledge & bible verse. Of course Sadie worked hard & she was the first in their class to earn it back in the fall so she was so excited to get all of her badges!
It has been a wonderful experience for Sadie & she has learned so much about going into the world & becoming a missionary. And she has really bonded with these girls! Their teachers are going to move up with them next year so hopefully this group will stay together for the next several years:
