New Beginnings wrap-up.
Laminated shield to put in a place where they will see it daily with quotes from President Monson from the YW broadcast last Saturday.

When Christine ducks into a phone booth she comes out as Virtue Girl in this superhero disguise!Tonight was New Beginnings for Christine. She went straight from school to Lacrosse practice, home for literally 15 minutes to wash her face, brush her teeth, change her clothes, and grab the cold cereal with milk in a large plastic glass I handed her with a spoon as she got back in the car. Didn't even run a brush through her hair, which I wished she would have, but oh well--I'm just the mom. She had to be at the last little practice for the SuperValues play.
This was probably one of the best New Beginnings I've ever been too, and I've been to a lot.
The walls were decorated with plastic tablecloths in all the value colors made into superhero 'capes' and then there was the superhero picture wall! For a gathering activity we had a pen and paper and had to name all the superheros. There were 20. Ten from famous cartoons and 10 from the scriptures. Gotta say, I was stumped on a couple!
Opening song, prayer, reciting the YW theme. Announcements about youth conference and girls camp. Introduction of 'baby Beehives'. Oh. When did these girls grow up. But of course they are 12--I had them in Primary a year ago! They were asked to go sit up on the stage in a little row of primary chairs to the side. All of a sudden: the Superman theme music begins! One of the large fans that the stake uses to help cool off at the stake dances goes on and from one of the back doors come 9 of the YW. They were 'flying' in wearing their true identities as the SuperValues: Faith, Divine Nature, Individual Worth, Knowledge, Choice and Accountability, Good Works, Integrity, and Virtue. Modest shorts with footless tights under in each value color, white tshirt with a value shield (in the corresponding value color) with matching value cape. ADORABLE. They flew and danced in and up onto the stage that was appropriately decorated in value shields.
Setting: Tesoro High School where "Temptation" has abducted the baby Beehives and hidden them in the Algebra room. "Temptation" was a YW leader wearing all black with a huge white "T" on her shirt--the villian! While the opening dance was going on in the back of the cultural hall, "Temptation" had a rope and tied up the completely surprised and unsuspecting baby Beehives and moved them to the Algebra room! (Kind of like temptation--sometimes it completely surprises you, for real!)
The SuperValueHeros mission: to find the baby Beehives and save all from "Temptation" using their super powers. "Temptation" follows the SuperHeros around in many disguises tempting them with cheating, immodesty, immorality, word of wisdom, gossiping, etc., as they navigate the campus determined to save the baby Beehives. But with each SuperHero comes a 'super-value' with it's 'super-power' to resist "Temptation".
Christine was "Virtue Girl". Her super-power is a force field to keep anything un-virtuous away so she can make and keep sacred covenants one day in the temple. She dresses modestly, doesn't date before 16, etc., etc.
This was like a mini road show! There were songs, dances, great message, and the SuperValueHeros were victorious in rescuing the baby Beehives and thwarting "Temptation"! The script was written by one of the older Mia Maids! Yep. It was amazing! At different parts of the play, each class came up and told who their hero was in their life. With only a very few exceptions, every one was a family member. I made a mental note of the essential power of the family.
Great, great evening.
