Ladies First is a group that gives the young ladies of Diley an opportunity to meet with myself and, more importantly, other women from our building and the community. This year, our ladies will meet to discuss the 7 habits of highly effective teens. This group promotes the discussion and practice of etiquette and good character. The group meets twice a month before school. The first meeting of the month will be held in the Library. For this meeting, students are asked to dress up. The second meeting consists of playing a game or doing some other physical activity in the gym, as well as a recap of the topics discussed at the beginning of the month. Students are encouraged to attend both meetings to emphasize the importance of values and skills being learned in the first meeting, as well as to reap the benefit of physical activity and camaraderie amongst peers in the second meeting.
