“Smart Girls” from the Boys & Girls Club of Cypress and Club King came together for an end-of-season banquet on May 29 at the club. “Smart Girls” is a national Boys & Girls Clubs of America program which provides guidance for adolescent girls toward healthy attitudes, lifestyles and reaching their full potential.
The girls met weekly and were taught on topics such as career development, positive relationships, proper nutrition, body image and cyberbullying. Special guests were brought in to instruct them and included Terrisa Ha, M.D. who spoke to them about proper health, hygiene and the importance of good nutrition.
Terri Alvarez from the Flower Shops at Forest Lawn taught the Smart Girls to properly set a table as well as helped them create their own personalized flower arrangements to take home. Each lesson was informative, fun, and simultaneously focused on the importance of creating meaningful connections and friendships with one another.
