This is a really tough time for girls (speaking from experience). Pass this workshop on to any moms with girls getting ready to start middle school. It could help with the transition.

Middle school can be a tough transition for girls. PASSAGES is a workshop designed to give rising middle school girls an advantage by introducing them to life in middle school.
PASSAGES offers girls the opportunity to make new friends and gain valuable life skills. They will learn organization tips, time management, study skills and more. They also get the chance to explore their new school before classes begin.
“Middle School is a huge transition and comes with a lot of questions and anxiety.” says Antwinette Battle, Director of Innovations for the Girl Scouts of Gateway Council. “PASSAGES is an opportunity to calm their fears, answer their questions and offers girls a preview of what life is like in their new school.”
