The REAL GEMS was created in an effort to build self-awareness, mental wellness, and character among girls at the middle school level. It is our endeavor to inspire and impact the "whole" person (mind, body, and soul) in order to better prepare them for life. GEMS will provide girls with opportunities for exposure to various cultural experiences, leadership opportunities, and tools for social-emotional health. With active participation, young ladies will improve their decision-making abilities, self-regulate, consider the outcome of actions, and become goal-oriented. This will all aid in their ability to plan, set goals, and follow them through until completion.
