6th Grade Transition Night

Each year we put on a 6th Grade Transition Night. All new 6th graders and their parents are invited to this event. The purpose is to help the 6th graders get acclimated to the youth ministry before being thrown into it on our first night when all the students are back.
Our goals for the night-
           1. Meet the students, but almost as important is to meet their parents.
           2. Have the students meet us (staff and youth leaders)
           3. Students meet each other
           4. Students meet the youth ministry- teach them about or programs, purpose and philosophy

Last night was such a great night. Many of the middle school leaders showed up and we had about 30 6th graders show up and they all brought their parents. I think the night achieved its purpose.

Here is a video we showed last night which tell the kids about some things that they get to experience this year at AO.
