Staycation! January 10th

The Girl's Dorm hosted the first ever STAYCATION!  (Thanks to the Paradise and Meghan for masterminding this last year!)  To combat winter fatigue and relieve stress as finals loom in the near future, all the girls were invited to attend a girl's get away!  Where to,  you ask?  Our very own dorm and campus!  


The Staycation began after school on Friday. A special after-school reception was held in the Chapel to kick off the event.  A snack of fruit and cheese and crackers was enjoyed by all. 




We then loaded the vans for a trip out to Shekinah to enjoy Quill hill.  The weather was mild and great fun was had by all.

I bet you Janelle wishes she had goggles like Lauren and Haley!

We returned for a delicious meal prepared by our very own kitchen staff.  The evening then continued with a dance party and a photo booth. 
Janelle and Analicia teach the group some awesome dance moves.

Katie and Alejandra take advantage of the props for the photo booth.



  This was followed by the viewing of the classic 'chick flick' Dirty Dancing.  The evening continued with slumber party on third floor girls dorm.  We played games and all ended up with silky smooth skin after oatmeal facials.





The morning brought breakfast in bed, then a relaxing session of yoga in the later am.  A brunch of crepes followed.  The Staycation ended Saturday afternoon with an envigorating belly dancing session.



Mackenzie and Alexa dig in.


Gabby is a natural at belly dancing.
