Young Women in Excellence…our preparations

Young Women in Excellence  our preparations…

The theme for our Young Women in Excellence this year is , “It’s a Jungle Out There!”

It came to us after listening to the stories of what our Young Women deal with on a daily basis…especially at their  schools etc.

Big palm trees were fashioned from the inner cardboard tube of carpet rolls.  We crinkled wide strips of kraft paper and hot glued it on the tube for the palm tree trunk.  The leaves were constructed from wire hot glued down the center of cut out crepe paper leaves.  Extra wire was left on one end and bent and stuck in the top of the tube.  Stands were made from pressed board with 1 x 4’s cut and screwed on.  The 1 x4’s were cut into sections 2 feet long. One end of the 1 x4 was cut on an angle to allow the trees to stand at angles.

Each girl picked a scripture to represent her.  Each girl also made a display including a presentation board that reflected her accomplishments and her personality.

Smaller palm trees were made from mailing tubes with the crinkled brown kraft paper glued on it with palm leaves stuck on top.  The tubes were put in gravel in a cup and brown kraft paper over the cup.

 

And jungle animals were drawn
