Just Get Serious for Girls

This program is similar to the one described above, except it is especially created for 9th grade to 12th girls. Drawing on her high school dream to be a cheerleader, Donna stresses the importance of girls appreciating who they are instead of comparing themselves to others, believing in themselves, working hard to pursue their dreams and staying focused. The program is interactive, inspiring and motivating!

Ms. Satchell encouraged our girls to have the confidence to pursue their dreams. They truly enjoyed and learned a lot from her.  Donna shared her experiences as a teenager and talked about what it takes to succeed. Her activities and discussions with the girls were great. Donna embodies the determination and positive thinking we are trying to instill in our girls. I look forward to working with her again soon.
