Skiing @ Poly Mountain

Last week was March Break for our students @ KV Youth so we took advantage of that and took the youth group skiing @ Poly Mountain. There was about 20 brave students & sponcers who made it out for the day. We all had a blast and it was a beautiful day!

Paris & Pink: Girls Night Lock In 2007

Welcome to Paris & Pink 2007!!!


What a blast!! This was the 5th year for Kings Valley's annual Girl's Night Lock In for our middle school female students. Two mothers from our church (Christie & Tracie) usually head up this event...this year I got to join that leadership team, so it was the three of us and LOTS of amazing volunteers that made the night such a huge success. The theme was "Paris & Pink"! We had over 170 girls at the event and it was soo much fun! When the girls first arrived and registered they each received a "Paris & Pink Passport" in which they had to get stamped at each of the vender's through out the evening. We started the evening with each of the girls entering Paris & Pink on our run way...The girls LOVED the runway, and I was sooo excited how it all turned out. This year my responsibilities was advertisement and decorations. And when Kings Valley does decorations, we go BIG! I got my creative juices running and I loved how all the decorations turned out! After all the girls entered Paris & Pink via the run way they were able to roam to all the vender's...who provided opportunities for the girls to get their nails, hair and make up done....they could get fake tattoos, make a purse, make earrings, be served at our bistro or cafe', get a facial from a Mary Kay representative, get their picture taken with a friend, or just have a blast walking around the room or up and down the runway. Later in the evening we had a concert by "Three Season Ant", a talent show hosted by Dave...I got a chance to share with the girls about how to be beautiful from the inside out...there was two movies shown...and that about summed up the all niter. Overall it went very smoothly with no drama. Looking forward to next years lock in...our theme will be "Hawaii".

Hillside Rally 2007

Hillside Rally is one of the Atlantic Wesleyan District Rallies that they have each year. Last weekend we drove a few of our students from KV Youth to Nova Scotia to go to this weekend event. We had a blast hanging out & "Kickin it Old School" (this year's theme.)



















After the evening Rally there was late night swimming & dodge ball...here is a picture of the girls before getting ready to go swimming.




















Hillside had host families for all of us to stay with. Most of the girls got in the same house. Thanks to Rachel & her family for letting us stay in your beautiful home!




















Here is a pic of the group that came from KV Youth for the Rally.
We had a lot of fun & look forward to keeping the tradition alive & keep
going to Hillside Rally.



















Hillside Rally is located in Nova Scotia @ Hillside Wesleyan Church
