I forgot to mention how well the 2nd and 3rd weeks of Missionary Month went. The 2nd week we had elders and sisters from our ward meet with the youth who had been called to the mission areas where the ward members had served. Both the kids and the adults loved the experience. The adults brought their journals, pictures and letters from their missions. The kids loved hearing about and seeing how it was for others to serve. The only thing I would do different is make sure they had lots of time. We gave them 45 minutes and they all said it was way too short! Definitely a must do for missionary month.
The 3rd week was Pday and we asked the kids to bring a friend to play volleyball. Lots of the kids acted like it would kill them to try, but about half of the kids did bring a friend. They had fun and it was very low-key. It was an excellent suggestion by the YM president to do that and the kids enjoyed the chance to have their non-churchy friends there. Another great way to change it up.
So, even though last night was less than perfect, overall it was a really good month of good activities that the entire ward enjoyed. The kids did ask to do it again next year, too.
