Lessons From Over the Rainbow: Never Give Up

Dorothy never stopped trying to get home, even when the witch sent her flying monkeys after her. The world can be a cruel place. Evil things do happen, and we need to be aware of that. However, we cannot let the fear caused by evil doings to stop us from trying to be good. Life is complicated, but we can handle it if we hold on to what is important and stay on the right path.

            Stay true to yourself and stay on the yellow brick road. This is how you conquer obstacles, one foot in front of the other. Never stopping, and when the going gets tough, stick to the right path and you can overcome any obstacle that life throws at you.

A Grand Year: Murder Mystery

Between June 2019 and March 2020 we had many Grand Assembly Events and I think that during this time it is very important to remember all the good things that we got to do!

One of my favorite events in this term was the Murder Mystery that we hosted in Hampton in November. It was based on a Homecoming scenario, where the most popular boy in school is suddenly murdered. We spent the night as characters in the scenario trying to solve the mystery. We had a performance by a small group of girls who sang and danced the song “Cell Block Tango” from the musical Chicago.

We had a vote for Homecoming King and Queen, which went to Noah P. (State Master Councilor) and Kaitlyn R. (Grand Love). We voted for the best actress, which went to Sara W. (Grand Drill Leader), and best dressed, which went to Preston H.

We had a great night, and in the end it turns out it was the Homecoming Queen who committed the crime! It was super fun, and I cherish the memories we made together.

A Grand Year: Lake Anna

Between June 2019 and March 2020 we had many Grand Assembly Events and I think that during this time it is very important to remember all the good things that we got to do! The first event we had was our Lake Anna Beach Day in August. We had girls from all over the state attend, as well as visitors from DeMolay. We had a picnic, played Jenga, and had fun in the water! Over seventy people attended, and we had a great time getting to know each other better. It was a wonderful way to start our year and I cherish the memories we made!

A Grand Year: Hampton/Norfolk GV

Between June 2019 and March 2020 we had many Grand Assembly Events and I think that during this time it is very important to remember all the good things that we got to do!

The Hampton/Norfolk GV was so much fun! I was so excited to see what these assemblies had in store for their skits and they did not disappoint. I was walked around the room, taught about courage, and even made to dance with the wicked witch and her monkeys. Sara W and Jordan B presided over the GV as Worthy Advisors. I received lovely gifts from both assemblies and had a great time!
