Little Flowers Girls' Club
The Little Flowers Girls' Club® is a program for girls who, together with their moms, want to grow in beauty in the sight of the Lord by learning and practicing Catholic virtues such as hope, truthfulness, perseverance and cheerfulness. Virtues are learned through lively presentations, crafts and activities incorporating the lives of the saints and scripture.
Each year a "wreath" of flowers is worked on, where each flower represents a different virtue. Badges for the virtues are earned by completing activities at home. The badges are worn on a blue sash.
Mothers are involved by attending the monthly meeting with their daughters and by helping their daughters with the at-home activities. Mothers can take an active role by being the presenter of the virtue-of-the-month, organizing a craft or activity or by helping with the end-of-year tea party.
The program is currently open to girls in grades K-6. Little Flowers meets September through June, generally the first Thursday of the month 6:30-7:30 pm in the school library.
