**MOVEMENT, MUSIC & SPARKLE!**

Who says fitness can't be FUN?! 💃🏾🎶
Our Sparkle Girls got moving during our recent **Dance Fit event**, bringing energy, laughter, and some serious dance moves to the floor! At Sparkle Mentoring Program, we believe wellness is about more than physical fitness. It's about building confidence, expressing yourself, embracing movement, and discovering that taking care of your mind and body can be FUN! Every beat, every step, and every smile was another reminder that **healthy habits can start with simply having a good time!** 💜
We're not just encouraging our girls to MOVE — we're helping them build a foundation for lifelong wellness, confidence, and self-love.

**Believe. Speak. Become.**

This event sparked SO much imagination, creativity, curiosity, and excitement! Our Sparkle girls got to experience STEM in action, discovering how everyday materials can be transformed into something extraordinary through engineering, science, and a little creative thinking!

A HUGE thank you to the amazing Linda Hargrove, engineer, STEM educator, and author, for generously sharing your time, knowledge, passion, and talents with our youth! Your enthusiasm, patience, and hands-on approach made learning exciting and reminded our girls that engineering isn't just something they learn about — it's something they can DO! We appreciate you for showing our girls what's possible when imagination meets innovation!
At Sparkle, we're not just introducing our girls to new experiences. We're expanding their perspectives, nurturing their confidence, and helping them recognize possibilities they may have never considered.

💜 Believe. Speak. Become.

THE STEM MAKEOVER: Turning Junk Into Genius! Get ready for an afternoon of creativity, discovery, and hands-on learning with the Sparkle Mentoring Program!On Saturday, September 26th, our girls will participate in The STEM Makeover, an interactive STEM innovation and empowerment workshop led by Linda Hargrove — Engineer, STEM Educator & Author.This isn’t just a presentation — the girls will be building, experimenting, creating, and discovering how engineering shows up in everyday life! They’ll explore:Acoustical Engineering — creating their own phone amplifier using everyday materials
Physics & Optics — designing and building a Newton’s Color Disk
Mechanical Energy — creating a cardboard and string spinner while learning about motion, tension, and energyOne of the most powerful parts of this experience is giving our girls the opportunity to learn directly from a Black woman in engineering—helping them see that STEM is not only a field they can explore, but a space where they belong, can excel, and can lead. If you want your daughter to experience opportunities like this, now is a great time to join the Sparkle Mentoring Program! We invite families with girls ages 10–18 to learn more about becoming part of our Sparkle community. Join in time for your girl to participate in The STEM Makeover and experience the mentorship, enrichment, leadership development, wellness activities, educational opportunities, and sisterhood Sparkle provides throughout the year.
