Lock-In Wrap Up


Dear Parents,

Thank you to every one who was able to make the Lock-In and for all the delicious treats provided! For those of you who were not able to make it, we MISSED you!!! The evening was filled with skits, dancing, games, ALOT of laughing, and plenty of
food! The girls loved having free reign of the Fieldhouse, especially being able to dominate the football field!

Along with all the fun, we had a sharing circle that ended up being one of the most touching parts of the evening. We had a very open discussion about bullying. It was heartbreaking to hear girl after girl share their own personal experience with this
mean behavior, or the story of someone they knew who had endured such cruel interactions.

One of the gifts that came about from this open sharing is that for many, the realized they weren't so alone. It also raised such an awareness on our team, that the girls made a promise to help one another, stand beside one another, and to take a proactive approach if they witnessed any bullying behavior.

It was such an empowering moment of true sisterhood, and we are so proud of the passionate and sensitive hearts that have blessed Premier.

We encourage you to talk to your child about what was shared, as we all need to have our eyes wide open to this very real epidemic. Please let us know if there is ever a situation that we can be supportive or helpful with in regards to your daughter. We want Premier to be a safe and encouraging place for the girls to land, and want nothing more than each child to feel empowered and supported.
