Soroptimist Girls’ Forum at Washington School
Media Arts Magnet School was established in 2007, bringing together
thirteen 6th grade girls for a year of fun, friendship
and mentoring. The school chooses the girls for their leadership
abilities.
During our first year we completed many fun and
charitable activities. The “Girls’” made cards for soldiers in Iraq,
along with “Ginger Girl” ornaments and flower arrangements for the
women at the Y shelter in Hartford.
Our signature project for the year was a car
washing and bake sale benefiting The Connecticut Children’s Medical
Center. We had almost 100% participation on a gloomy Saturday
morning! The girls worked hard and raised $370.00. They presented
the check to the CCMC Program Director, Regina Boza at our final
meeting on June 11, 2008!
Throughout the year we were fortunate to gain
the trust and friendship of the young ladies. Our proudest moment
was having 7 girls offer to come back to “mentor” our new group of
eleven energetic 5th grade girls for the 2008-2009 school
year.
 Our
October, 2008 bake sale at the Manchester Library and was quite
successful and enjoyed by all.
