Family Events
This year at Mount Cross we will be kick starting our new campaign for children, youth and families called "Use Your Voice". This is a series of events and discussions circled around speaking up when injustice is present. Our first part of the series will begin in September with Stacy Germundson, a school counselor for middle and high school students who has also created a camp for young women called BOLD.
The focus for this event will be on every child believing they are precious and important with infinite potential. When young people know they are loved unconditionally and are empowered with a purpose, they can do amazing things.
She will be giving 3 separate sessions for our children and parents here at Mount Cross via Zoom with the dates and times listed below.
September 20th @6pm - High School Youth Group
September 23rd @6:30pm - Middle School Youth/Confirmation
September 23rd @7:30pm - Parents who would like to attend
We will be collecting donations for this event that will go towards Stacy's organization, BOLD Inc. at the end of the night. This event is open to all our parents and youth. We would love it if you could attend. If you have any questions, please contact Joe Zimmerly.
Here is a message from Stacy:
My name is Stacy Germundson. I have been a school counselor for middle
and high school students for 16 years. I worked in the Prior Lake-Savage
School District for 14 years.This will be my 3rd year in the Pillager School
District. I absolutely love working with adolescents. I am extremely
passionate about supporting and empowering my students to be their best
selves and pursue their goals. I have been married to my husband, Dan, for
13 years and we are blessed with 2 amazing children, Gaje and Ellen. We
live in the beautiful northwoods of Nisswa, MN. We absolutely love living
and raising our children in the Brainerd Lakes Area. I have created BOLD
Inc., because I am convinced that if young women have courage,
confidence and conviction, they can achieve great things. I am so excited
and humbled by the opportunity to work with young women and help
empower them to develop these skills. Girls Are Bold!
