More about the challenge
May Fitness Frenzy!!! 💪
Here’s a quick recap of the heart-racing action:
Tuesday: Hand-Tap Showdown! Teaming up with a buddy, the girls tapped their way through a lightning-fast minute, testing their coordination and teamwork. High-fives all around for the epic energy!
Wednesday: Burpee Blitz! Midweek madness hit hard with the burpee challenge. Gabi went all-out, jumping, squatting, and sweating through a minute of pure intensity. Phew, talk about a workout!
Thursday: Ballin’ Figure 8 Spectacle! Today, Gabi and Sonia took agility to new heights with the figure 8 ball challenge. It was like a dance with the ball as they weaved through their legs, racing against the clock. Who knew fitness could be this fun?
Bring on the next challenge! 🚀💪

Day 3 & 4 Showdown: May Fitness Challenge Fun!
Day 3 of the May fitness challenge brought us face-to-face with a quirky yet engaging task: jumping over a pillow as many times as possible in one minute. Gabi, despite feeling full and possibly facing a less-than-ideal outcome, bravely took on the challenge.
Fast forward to Day 4, where the challenge morphed into an “around the world” affair. Zia, Martina, Melissa, Gabi, and myself eagerly took up the gauntlet, discovering that what seemed simple was, in fact, surprisingly challenging.

Chop ‘n’ Chat: Cooking Up Fun 👩🍳
Tonight was awesome! We all got together in the boarding house kitchen to cook dinner. With our aprons on and utensils ready, we dove into cooking. There was laughter, chopping, and stirring as we shared stories and worked together. The kitchen buzzed with energy and the smell of delicious food.
Gathering around the table, we dug into the meal we made together. We shared jokes, exchanged stories, and maybe even gave some questionable advice, but it was all part of the fun. These spontaneous moments of connection are what make cooking together in the boarding house so special.
After dinner, some of the girls decided to keep the fun going with a spontaneous game of badminton. Kaia was a formidable opponent while laughter filled the air as they rallied back and forth. It was a spontaneous burst of energy and excitement, a perfect way to unwind after a delicious meal together.

As the clock counted down, laughter and determination filled the room as the girls tackled the challenge of completing as many Russian twists as possible in sixty seconds. Amidst the fun, a competitive spirit emerged, driving them to push beyond their limits in friendly rivalry.

On Monday, Melissa marked her 18th birthday and spent it with her family. Today we commemorated the occasion with a cake. Her friends adorned her room and gifted her 18 presents, each accompanied by a heartfelt note symbolizing each year of her life. Melissa was visibly delighted and deeply moved by their gesture.
We wish her many more years filled with joy.

Second Place, But We’re Still Number Fun!
As their house parent, I’m immensely proud of our girls’ journey to second place in the boarding talent show. Their dedication, teamwork, and resilience were remarkable. Despite challenges, they embraced rehearsals with determination. On stage, their performance radiated talent and unity, captivating the audience.
While the judges may have awarded them second place, from my perspective, their achievement goes far beyond a ranking. It’s about the growth they’ve experienced and the memories they’ve created together. I’m honored to witness their development and look forward to supporting their future successes.
Lots of Love,
