For the last few years we've spent Labor day weekend in Birmingham. Kacey had been participating in Pre-Teen Alabama. Not the beauty pageant Pre-Teen but the Scholastic Pre-Teen. We would drive and check in the the hotel around lunch on Saturday and check out after lunch on Monday so while we are sad that she decided not to attend this year and decline her invitation, we are so excited about having a weekend at home.
I enclosed some pictures from I think 2 years ago.
They were rated on
last 2 years report cards
awards
community service
hobbies/extracurricular activities
they took a written test and were rated on being a team player
and how they got along with others.
And an interview in front of a panel.
Every year they also had a speech and talent show that was optional. Last year Kacey did the sign art for I believe. It was beautiful if I do say so even if I am her MOM!
They decorated their doors and at all hours of the night you would hear girls in the hall signing your door/leaving a surprise, the door decorations were how they knew they were in preteen and the hotel had 14 floors, as Mom I got to walk around with Kacey and some of her friends to sign doors!
Kacey acting silly after her interview with the judging panel. I think she was relieved what do you think!
Some of her new friends.
Before coming home on Monday. Every year she entered she was in the top 20. She did really well, and enjoyed it very much.
They had rehearsals where the parents couldn't attend and then during the awards section it was where the parents got to see the number they had learned. This year it was a sports theme, last year was the 50's with poodle skirts, I can't remember past that. Hope you have a nice long relaxing weekend.
