Do you want to empower the girls in your classroom and give them a voice? Jerry Spinelli's book Stargirls has inspired an organization called the Stargirl Society. The program was featured in Time Magazine for Kids. In this program girls are engaged in dialogue and meaningful activities relating to issues faced by girls today, service learning projects, and a focus on the arts, creativity, and problem solving. These activities will be included in this blog. Join us! Become a Stargirl!

Stargirl - Acts of Kindness Challenge
Have you watched the Disney Plus movie Stargirl? If not... what are you waiting for? It is perfectly cast and there are so many special moments and lessons for girls to learn about individuality, social relationships, self esteem, goal setting, acts of kindness, creativity, mindfullness and more. You could also read the book of the same title by Jerry Spinelli.
Today's blog focuses on Acts of Kindness:
In this time of distress, many of us are experiencing anxiety. Anxiety is a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome. Sound like what we are all experiencing today!
Why not refocus our attention to ACTS OF KINDNESS? That was one of Stargirls special traits and often she never let on that she was the person initiating the Act of Kindness. She made cards, sang songs, gave secret presents and thought of original ways to make someone happy.
Stargirl Challenge.
Many people, old and young are experiencing anxiety. Many parents are stressed because the schools are closed. Be creative! What Act of Kindness can you develop and carry out?
Think of the elderly that live in your neighborhood, someone who is sick, someone who is scared... take time to put a smile on their face! The Arts are a GREAT way to accomplish this!
