Alisa’s Poem
“I don’t really like to write poems but I love my grandma.” – Alisa
I Love My Grandma
I love my grandma.

We went to the playground.
We always have fun.
We eat posicles.
I see her a lot.
I never get in trouble.
I love my grandma.

Ms. Minnie = Obi-Wan Kenobe
At Girls Inc. of Omaha, we say that Ms. Minnie, our Director of Counseling, is the Obi-Wan Kenobe of reproductive health. In this class, she is dispelling myths about tampons. One girl asks, “Can’t a tampon get lost inside your body?” Another says, “I heard you will die if you use a tampon.” Ms. Minnie patiently gives the girls medically accurate information about their reproductive health.
