Young Women in Excellence
Reilly won the "Beautiful Ballerina" AwardWednesday night was Reilly's first Young Women in Excellence Night. She was very excited. The YW leaders did a great job putting it together. The theme was the Oscars and they had a red carpet for the girls to walk down and had awards for all of them.
Several of the girls performed. Reilly played "As I Have Loved You" on the piano and did a great job. It was fun to see how talented the young women in our ward are...and with such a wide variety of talents too.
Since Reilly is a brand-new Beehive she hadn't completed a 10 hour Personal Progress goal yet but she has been working really hard on her "Knowledge" goal and is almost done. So she displayed on her table items that showed how she has grown in knowledge this past year.
She had on her table ballet pictures, pointe shoes, an apron my mom made for her, a recipe box that she has been compiling recipes in etc. Her 10-hour knowledge project is to learn to cook. So she has been compiling a recipe box of family recipes from her grandmas, great-grandmas, Mom and Aunts and has been learning to cook 10 meals. She has really done a great job!!
I love the Personal Progress Program. I love what it does for the girls. It instills in them goal-setting and problem solving skills, charity, love, kindness, perseverance, faith, and confidence. To complete the program each girl has to complete seven 10-hour projects including several value experiences in each of these 7 categories:Faith
Divine Nature
Individual Worth
Knowledge
Choice and Accountability
Good Works
Integrity
It takes the girls usually a couple of years to complete the program. Reilly is off to a great start!!
We Love You Rye!!

How can this be??? Reilly looks so grown up! She is going to do such amazing things in the PP program. She has some fabulous cooks to look up to and learn from.
What a fun evening! What a STAR!!
That is such a great program, and at her age it's nice to have something for her to feel good about to help with the self confidence. :) "Way to go Reilly...you look beautiful as always!!"
I am glad you posted about this. I was so impressed with the way they decorated the room. It looked so great. I am even more impressed with Reilly. She has accomplished so much.
