Today's pilar was "Be Studious." The girls wrote thank you notes to educators and other people who have helped them "Be Studious." They surprised me with a thank you note during snack today!

This wraps up week 1 of BYBS. We will see you next week at 7 pm in the Lincoln Elementary Gym for our showcase!

Yesterday our week 1 Be Your Best Self girls visited a few of Ivanhoe's local businesses to fundraise for both our BYBS program and future Distinguished Young Women of Ivanhoe programs.

If you or your business are interested in donating to our program, please email [email protected] or swing by Lipinski Small Engine & Hardware by Thurdsay, August 10th at 5:30 pm. We are currently accepting cash and check donations.

Thank you for supporting your local Distinguished Young Women program!

Please share and tag people who may be interested!!!

The deadline to sign up is THIS FRIDAY (July 28th)! We already have a great group of girls signed up and would love for more future Distinguished Young Women to join in on the fun! We have so many things planned for the girls to do! If you have scheduling conflicts and your daughter wants to be involved, let me know and we can figure something out :)

This year we are doing our Be Your Best Self (BYBS) program for TWO weeks! Your child(ren) may participate in either Week 1, Week 2, or both. The program is open to girls in the Ivanhoe School District or with an Arco address who are entering Kindergarten to those who just graduated from 6th grade. There is no fee for this program. You must be registered by Friday, July 28th.
Both weeks will take place at Lincoln Elementary
Week 1 (July 31st-August 4th, 3pm-5pm): This week, we will be learning about the pillars of BYBS; Be Healthy, Be Ambitious, Be Involved, Be Responsible, and Be Studious. We will also be doing activities in our community!
Week 2 (August 7th-11th, 5:30pm-7:30pm): Week 2 will be preparing for the showcase. The girls will learn an opening number, fitness routine, talent, and answer self-expression questions. During the week, the girls will also have the opportunity to do a mock interview.
The public showcase will take place on August 11th at 7pm in the Lincoln Elementary gym. The girls involved in only Week 1 will not be eligible to participate in the showcase. Those participating in both Week 1 and Week 2 or only Week 2 will be in the showcase.
The girls involved in the program will receive a t-shirt, a snack at the end of every session, and have the opportunity to ride on the Distinguished Young Women float in the Polish Days parade on August 13th.
If you are an alumni of the Distinguished Young Women program and are interested in speaking with the girls, being an emcee for the showcase, or helping in another aspect, please reach out!
If your daughter is older than 6th grade and wants to help with the program, please contact [email protected]
Thank you!
