Everything in an adolescent female’s world starts and ends with her. It’s all about her. This can present challenges when she is confronted by the needs of others or difficult choices. In an effort to address some of the many issues that confront middle school girls, a support group was formed at Herndon Middle School. The group is facilitated by psychologists, a counselor, and a graduate level psychology practicum student to address issues related to academic improvement, good nutrition, staying active, etiquette, healthy relationships, communication skills and making good choices. Along with weekly after-school sessions that focused on these issues, the girls also had an opportunity to attend an etiquette workshop at the Reston Hyatt Regency, sponsored by The Links, Inc. In addition, the girls group hosted a visit to Herndon Middle School by Miss Virginia 2007, Hannah Kiefer. Many of the group’s activities were supported by a mini-grant from the Fairfax Education Association.
