This week was pretty eventful. It all began with Colby's birthday and ended with a packed Leadership Conference for the Youth Council. Thrown in the middle was a couple band concerts for Colby and Emily and Parent Teacher Conferences for Charlotte and Logan. Along with the PTC, I put together a meal for the teachers and staff. I cooked sweet pork and we had delicious nachos. Yum....
Thursday night after the band concert Emily and I headed over to our Youth Council's rented AirBnb and spent the night so we could be ready for the Utah Youth Council's Leadership Conference. I spent the next 2 days with these awesome kids from the Hyrum Youth Council as we were trained and encouraged to be better leaders in our community.
We spent a lot of time in break out sessions learning about overcoming trials, networking with others, encouraging personal growth, and learning from each other through Legos. We also listened to a speaker talk about how to get out dreams and goals off the ground right now.
Along with the classes, we also had a lot of fun. There were a bunch of Minute-To-Win-It games, a wild Goose Chase competition, a formal banquet with our city dignitaries, and we finished the night off with an exciting dance!
During our council free time, we got together with the Amalga Youth Council and went to Angie's to clean the sink. It was delicious!
I hope the kids had a good time and learned a lot of good information to take back to the council. It was very informative for me as well as I participated in the advisor training.
Along with the two band concerts, the younger kids also had a music performance this week. Charlotte and Logan participated in their AIM music performance on Saturday. This was the final evaluation for the AIM program this year. They had to memorize two songs and perform them for a judge. They both felt like they did pretty well so that is great.
