A confidence-building assembly for girls in the messy middle of middle school.

By 7th grade, girls are right in the heart of it'; the shifting friendships, the sudden insecurity, the testing of boundaries, the moments where they’re trying to figure out who they are and where they fit. It’s the year when relational aggression often spikes, not because girls are “mean,” but because they’re navigating big feelings with half-built skills.

This is the moment when girls need support, language, and guidance, delivered in a way they’ll actually listen to, so they can rise above the drama instead of getting swept up in it.

RISE is a powerful, short, accessible assembly designed to help girls:

• recognize unhealthy dynamics early

• understand why friendships feel so intense at this age

• build emotional awareness and self-respect

• practice skills that prevent harm before it happens

• and rise into stronger, more confident versions of themselves

This assembly speaks directly to today’s 7th grade girl in her humor, her pace, her emotions and her real lived experience…so the message doesn’t just sound good, it sticks and starts shifting the culture right away.
