That was one thing girls at Mary Putnam Henck Intermediate School learned about at the first Every Girl Counts program.
The program – open to girls in sixth, seventh and eighth grade – is offered by Soroptimist International of Rim of the World.
The speaker at this first program was Rose Macias of How Money Works. She talked with the girls about setting goals and taking responsibility for themselves. She also spent some time on personal finances and the jobs that may interest them in the future.
“Rose brought such fantastic energy into the room,” said Lupe McDonald, who coordinates the program. “She connected so genuinely with the girls – they were so engaged the whole time.”
Prior to the program, the girls enjoyed some pizza.
The Soroptimists send out a special thank you to the high school girls who help out at each Every Girl Counts. The programs are held quarterly; the next program will be on Dec. 7.
