Here's an explanation of what we're doing for Personal Progress...1.
Please start bringing your personal progress book to
the last mutual of every month. For the first 15 minutes of this mutual we'll spend some time with each of you going over your progress. This also includes you special few who have already achieved your recognition award because you still have the chance to earn the incentives!
2.
$$ Personal Progress Bucks $$ -
- The $1 bills are our way of letting you know that we really appreciate the little things you do! You will be awarded these when we notice your random acts of kindness and goodness. (Examples: being on time to class, setting a good example, giving a kind compliment, being positive in a difficult situation, showing compassion, etc.)
- The $5 bills are awarded every time you accomplish a value experience.
- The $10 bills are awarded every time you accomplish a value project, although we may bump that up to $20.... ;)
3. Personal Progress AUCTION! ...going once...going twice...sold! Every 3 months we're going to have an auction for you to spend your personal progress bucks, so work hard and keep that money safe!
4. Personal Progress Party - We will start holding these once every 4 months. At these parties you'll get the extra special treatment you deserve for all your hard work (like good food, hand massages or facials, a movie, etc.)! You must set goals with your parents/leaders and then complete them before the date of the party. When setting your goals, remember you must complete a minimum of 1 experience per month or 5 hours total of a value project in order to qualify for the party.
We hope that you'll be able to view Personal Progress, not as a chore, but as a great opportunity for fun, learning, and growth. We challenge you to set goals and accomplish them and see for yourselves the blessings that come from being a part of this program. And don't forget, we've got a lot fun incentives to reward you all along the way! Love, Your YW Leaders :)
Our Young women and young men get the chance to give this cute family a christmas this year. This family is in need of so much! We will be collecting donations from ward members and then wrapping them on December 3rd. We then get the opportunity to all deliver these gifts straight to the family closer to Christmas time. It will be such a neat experience! Remember girls, try and earn some money to be able to purchase something for the family, even if it's small, it will make all the difference in the world for this family!
