What Does it Mean to be an American Girl? (photos)

Dr. Heather from Adiska Family Dental reads a book to the girls.

Adiska Family Dental partnered with the Manchester District Library to put on a two hour event on Saturday for girls ages 3 to 10 and their dolls. The question at the center of the event was "what does it mean to be an American Girl?"

Girls decorated tea cups, enjoyed lemonade and treats, had their photos taken in a photo booth, made an outfit and a sleeping bag for their doll and discussed hygiene, kindness, politeness, gratitude, education, confidence and table manners with Dr. Heather, who had organized the event. Before the girls left, there was a drawing for prizes including an American Girl Doll.

Miss Wahl took home a new American Girl Doll.
