The Sophia Project is coming to all 7th and 8th grade girls!!! Since its inception is 2001, The Sophia Project has been dedicated to the transformative journey of young women through mentoring. With parent's permission, the girls will attend a mentoring session each Monday during their elective period where they will engage in activities aimed to empower them with leadership and other social-emotional skills. This amazing opportunity extends to weekly Friday night KISS (Keep It Safe and Sacred) sessions, which are held at the YMCA on Page Boulevard from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM, and a half-day event at Grand Center Arts Academy on October 11th to celebrate the International Day of the Girl. Our vision is 100% of our 7th and 8th grade girls participate in this awesome program. Please contact Mrs. Shiver via email (samantha.shiver@sllis.org) for more information, and look out for emails, phone calls, and flyers for program updates.
