Women empowering women! That’s what the Ruby Slipper Event is all about. Eight dynamic high school girls have joined together with a few wonderful teachers to simply be friends with other high school girls and help them look toward their futures. Every girl in high school has some moments of insecurity. I know I sure did. I would have given anything to know that there was a group of girls I could talk to and share my feelings with. When you’re in high school, there is a transition period where you’re not a child anymore, you are blossoming into the woman you are meant to be. You feel the pressures of trying to decide whether to grow up or not. Having the help of others is a comforting thing!
Another great thing this group does is collect new and gently used prom dresses, jewelry, and evening wear shoes. There are so many prom dresses that are worn once and never used again. These dresses are dry-cleaned and offered up for the next girl to wear. There are some absolutely beautiful gowns provided by this group of girls and the amazing people who donate them. Don’t take on the pressure of spending hundreds of dollars on going to the prom. Step into the Ruby Slipper Room at East View High School and pick out your dress!
Because we are a team of women Realtors and we love supporting groups like this, we fit right in to the recent event at the school serving cookies and punch to the girls. We helped to better introduce this program to the girls who don’t know about the program. This is our second year to sponsor it and we LOVE visiting with the students and telling them about the woman within each and every one of them. There is one amazing woman inside every young girl. We applaud the Ruby Slipper Group and hope you will donate the evening wear hanging in your closet…
