In the wake of 4 teen girls after an impromptu slumber party

Hailey and 6 other kids from her middle school were invited to attend the OSPI (Office of the superintendent of Public Instruction) to learn about leadership by attending various workshops. When she was first asked to be a part of this group last spring, we thought it was a conference for just student leaders throughout Washington State, but as it turned out they were the only students who attended. The conference of over 1000 Washington state educators, administrators and counselors, was geared towards adults but our kids were asked to participate to represent the student population. The students, along with school staff, took vans into Seattle all week to attend workshops and trainings. What an honor for these kids to be a part of such an important program.

Sorry....but proud mom needed to brag a little bit!!!





Hailey and the girls who attended the conference with her, spent the night for a last minute slumber party. This is what they left behind in their wake. They may be leaders at school.... but they are still teens!
