Its official my babe is a highschooler! Summer break is just getting started in June, but Evie began her 9th grade year with the two week long program at the college, her third and final year. This program is only for middle schoolers and she has passed into highschool. She will be eligible to participate in the monthly educational excursions, but not in the two week program next year.This program meets everyday 9am-3pm for two weeks.
This year her program included the Team Leadership Obstacle Course, in which she finally made it to the top of the tower! We were so proud! She was proud of herself for tackling her fear of heights and getting to the top. There was a presentation by four of the leaders of the black engineering group from University of Kentucky, discussing several different types of the engineering programs offered at UK. She attended daily workshops in the fields of (and more) physical therapy, art, chemistry, computers/photography, and electronics. A student of the Kentucky Technical College (where the program is held) of Apache descent spoke with the students and taught them how to make dream catchers (she has made and sold several). Evie also spent those two weeks hanging out with one of her best friends, Elizabeth, who also goes to the program. Elizabeth was homeschooled up through 5th grade. She had a great time and embraced her natural ability to lead on many an occasion. Below are some highlights of her two great weeks!
As always we are very grateful to have been included in this program and will miss it next summer.
