YWCA Paint the Town Orange
We entered the banquet, were greeted and made our way to the boutique (yay shopping!). The next step, the bar…but no alcohol. We sipped on Sunkist to stay true to the “Paint the Town Orange” theme. We modeled for a few pics, then were seated for the program. Chicken with an apricot sauce, carrots, and Parisienne Potatoes (oui oui!) were on the menu. Ms. Liz Funk spoke to us about “supergirl,” the non-realistic perfect teenage queen. She encouraged us to be ourselves and that no one is perfect. You go Liz..preach on sista!

Culture Connections at Operation S.M.A.R.T.
I enjoyed learning about different cultures. My country was Jamaica but other girls learned about Jordan and the United Kingdom. – Chloe
Crushing A Can Without Using Your Hands
We put a few aluminum cans with water inside on an electric burner until the water inside began to boil. We removed one can at a time and quickly put it upside-down in ice water. The rapid temperature change causes the air pressure outside to be much greater than inside and the can crushes.

The Fun Part of the Science Experiment
I liked it when it popped in and we got to touch ice water. – Ayanea
It was tight! – Ayriel
Future Huskers?
The trip to Lincoln was very educational. I learned a lot and hope to learn even more when I’m a student at UNL. J

A lot of drama at Girls Inc…
Thanks to the Peter Kiewit Foundation for the tickets to Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the Omaha Community Playhouse. When the girls came back from the field trip, they were inspired to try their own Elvis impersonations. Some of them are actually pretty good.
