The Pretty Brown Girl Club will be celebrating our Annual Pretty Brown Girl Day-Virtual Vision Board Party on February 27, 2021 from 12-2pm. We will be hosting a vision board party for all girls and women in our school community. PBG Day takes place each year on the fourth Saturday of February during Black-History Month. Annually, we choose a theme that supports the learning and empowerment of our girls. Our theme this year is “Awaken, Align & Achieve” as we seek to help girls live the life they imagine. During our virtual celebration, you will learn more about our club and create vision boards.  A vision board is a poster board collage made up of pictures from magazines designed to remind you of what they want to see, do or become. Pretty Brown Girls create vision boards to focus on their future and carry a clear picture of their dreams and goals. Whether you’re a Leader, Parent, Student, Mentor, or Community Leader, PBG Day offers us an opportunity to empower girls. All are welcomed to join us in the celebration and create a vision board for 2021! Hope to see you there! Supplies needed for creating your Vision Board -White Poster Boards (This can be determined by the number of guests you will have. We recommend using only 1/2 a board for younger girls) -Lots of Magazines -Scissors -Glue -Markers -Glitter (optional) If you don't have the supplies, you can create a DIGITAL VISION BOARD.
