New Beginnings
New Beginnings
My idea for this year is to really tap into what the handbook says is the purpose of New Beginnings. Most of us just completed YW in Excellence and we don't want New Beginnings to just be the same event over again! New Beginnings is basically Young Women's 101! It's a crash course in all things YW. This will be new info for all incoming Beehives for the year and a great reminder for the rest of the YW and their parents. This also goes right along with the 2018 Youth Theme "Learn of Me." What is the Youth theme for this year? What is the YW Motto? When are activities? How do I get started with Personal Progress? What is this ribbon and how do I use it in the bookmark? When is Girl's Camp? You get the idea! Here is the verbiage from the handbook: This event provides an opportunity for leaders to express their love for the young women, encourage parents to help their daughters in Personal Progress, and introduce new young women to the young women program. Possible subjects to address include: Explanation of Personal Progress. Presentation of the young women theme, logo, and motto. Recognition of the young women and their accomplishments in Personal Progress. Overview of the youth theme and a discussion of activities planned for the year. |

With this theme in mind I think there are endless options for the event itself. Having the program as a "Class Syllabus," decorating the space like a classroom (books and globes and anything that resembles a classroom). The dollar store near us has an entire section of classroom cut outs, bulletin board decor etc. Also, having "apple" refreshments or treats served in white/brown lunch bags with each girl's name on it.
The files you can download are both PDF and JPEG, as well as PSD if you have Photoshop. There are 2 sizes 4X6 (for invitations) and 11X14 (for posters). I have left the area at the bottom blank so you can add your event details.

Sample PROGRAM to go along with the "Young Womens 101" theme
SAMPLE NEW BEGINNINGS PROGRAM
At the beginning of a class or course, teachers issue a "Syllabus." Use this idea as an agenda for your New Beginnings event. This is just an idea for you. You can certainly change whatever fits best for your girls. Of course don't let any of the cute little Beehives think they are really in a strict classroom! ;-) Download is a standard 8.5 X 11 page. The formats are PSD for Photoshop or JPG and PDF. Download New Beginnings Program:
