Meet American Girl of the Year Luciana Vega 2018 #Giveaway

Welcome Luciana Vega, the 2018 Girl of the Year.

My youngest is beyond estatic to have the American Girl of the Year Luciana Vega.  As her mom, I am pretty psyched too as she represents science and all the wonderful dreams that come with it. Her story shares that she is 11-year-old girl who dreams of being the first person to visit Mars. To make this dream be as authentic as possible, American Girl worked with NASA, including a task force of advisors such as  Dr. Ellen Stofan, former NASA Chief Scientist; Dr. Deborah Barnhart, CEO and Executive Director of the U.S. Space & Rocket Center; Dr. Megan McArthur Behnken, NASA Astronaut; and Maureen O’Brien, Manager of Strategic Alliances at NASA.

Luciana has a Mars habitat and a flight suit  These are definitely firsts for American Girl and I am totally in love with the fact that they are making STEM-based stories for girls to think and dream about.

The weather has been cold in NY but my daughter wanted to take Luciana Vega to the park to help her prepare for her trip to Mars.  This is exactly what girls need.  American Girl sets the stage and storyline and girls all over use their imagination for imaginative play. Luciana’s world comes to life via a beautiful 18-inch Luciana™ doll, featuring warm brown eyes, medium skin, and dark brown hair with a distinctive purple streak to show off her creative side.  MY daughter is absolutely in love with her purple streak.

One minute, we were swinging hoops to go through training that would help her with space and the next minute, she was holding her lovingly like a mom would.  This is why the American Girl dolls are so special.

 

When you read Luciana’s story, you learn a lot about her character. While she has the skills and smarts to achieve her goals, she also learns that being a good leader and team player right here on Earth is the best first step.   Luciana’s story is chronicled in a chapter book series written by Erin Teagan and published by Scholastic. The first two books, available now, introduce readers to Luciana, a young girl of Chilean descent with a serious science streak, who loves the idea of exploring new territories in space. After winning a scholarship to Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama, Luciana is thrilled to launch her dream of landing on Mars. But as she ascends from Space Camp kid to youth astronaut trainee, she faces many challenges that test her competitive spirit and self-confidence, and she must find the courage to embrace the unknown with bravery, curiosity, and wonder.

 

“We’re proud to introduce fans to American Girl’s 2018 Girl of the Year, Luciana Vega—a champion of STEM and a natural-born leader who puts her whole heart into making her dreams a reality,” says Katy Dickson, president of American Girl. “Luciana is a role model for today’s girls—empowering them to defy stereotypes and embrace risks that will teach them about failure and success as they chart their own course in life—whatever the goal. For us, it’s all about building girls of strong character, and it’s why we’re continuing to encourage girls to lead change and embrace #charactercounts.”

To engage girls and boys with Luciana’s message, American Girl—in partnerships with Scholastic, NASA, and Space Camp—has funded Blast Off to Discovery, an educational program to help third through fifth-grade students explore the wonder of space through Luciana-inspired content, including STEM-based lesson plans and classroom activities, videos, a game, and more. The program will be available on www.scholastic.com starting January 31, 2018. In addition, American Girl and Scholastic will host a Mission to Mars Sweepstakes where families can go on a series of weekly missions for a chance to win several prizes, including a grand prize trip to Space Camp valued at over $2,000.

We are so happy to offer one lucky Raising Three Savvy Ladies’ reader Luciana Vega, the 2018 Girl of the Year.

    I would like to win Luciana Vega for my daughter Violet who has a common dream with Luciana. Both want to be the first to walk on Mars. My daughter loves science and space. Her first dream is to travel around the world and then be the first person on the moon (I then explained that people have been to the moon so not surprisingly she changed to to Mars because she know it is the next closest planet). She still wants to travel around the world. I like that Luciana is more than just a doll, but also fosters interest is science/STEAM and has a great book to go along with her. Thanks for the chance to win our first American Girl Doll!

    I just adopted a little girl overseas who looks just like her! I had planned to take her to American Doll store to get her first doll then the government shut down. My husband is one of the unpaid furlough gov. employees who won’t be paid. It’s set us back a bit. Hopefully we’ll get back on track soon and get to take her still. I would love to give her an American Girl for her FIRST doll ever.

    I love the fact that her story is different from the previous Girl of the Year stories. She represents the other girls who are interested in things other than gymnastics or dancing. She stands out and it shows girls that they can be whatever they want as long as they work hard.

    I got an American Girl doll for my 1st granddaughter. We went to tea, later took her to get her hair done etc. When we visited her father living in Singapore she took her with and had different outfits for every area we visited. I have such good memories of her American girl doll. Now I have a 3 year old granddaughter and another on the way. I’d love to give the almost 4 year old a doll. She would take good care of her.

    I would really love to win this doll, because she is inspiring. I can really respect following your dreams. After years of struggle, I was able to follow my dream of being a artist/author. Although it does not pay well, it is what I love, and all that I am able to do because of disabilities and other person issues. I am so happy that Luciana is there to inspire a generation of young people to do what they love no matter what. Life should be happy and spent doing things that mean the world to you. I am glad that the American Girl company is helping young people by creating this doll. Luciana can be an inspiration for people of any age too. It would mean so much to me to win this doll, I used to have an American Girl doll years ago, and with her purple hair streak and creative ways she reminds me of myself. Thank you for putting out this sweepstakes.

So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macy So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macys and Santa! Last night, we took the train into the city to preview #Macys #Santaland I have to say it was quite magical. Although my youngest was 12, Santa was able to connect to her and put us all in the holiday spirit. 

I believe. I believe….

My mom also came with us. We started talking and I think it was almost 40 years ago that she took us to visit Santa at Macys. I was so happy to visit Santa with her and my youngest for a three generation experience.

Don’t forget to check out the beautiful window displays as you enjoy all of #NYC during the holidays!

#ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but #ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but 1 in 5 adults suffer from mental illness and disorders today. 

Let’s reduce the stigma by opening up the conversation in the classroom and at home.
As a teacher and a mom of 3, I know how important it is to be there and be a good listener.

Conversations are super important. It’s never too early (or too late) to have these conversations with your students or your own children.

Operation Conversation is a check-in on kids’ mental health. When we start simple habits of conversations, we can learn about concerns or problems our students are dealing with, help them problem solve, and build their confidence for life’s difficult moments. 

Teachers can help to destigmatize mental health starting in their own classrooms by talking to their students about mental health using a free deck of conversation starter cards. Parents can also use these cards to support good conversations while at home. I know as a mom, I can use all the help I can get. 

#Giveaway Alert! 
I have 5 decks of Conversation Starter Decks of cards to give away to 5 lucky winners to help you get the conversation flowing! 

To enter:
1. Comment on this post as to why you would love the conversation starter deck of cards. 
 2. Follow @OnOurSleevesOfficial
3. Follow me @SavvyMomNY  I will pick the winners after 10pm on 11/22

Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest and touring her sister on first college visit. Maybe it’s a sign that they should be together. Totally bittersweet and we went to visit Binghamton in October 2019 and only made it to two more before March 2020. I’m only thinking of bright skies ahead for the both of them filled with amazing memories and wonderful opportunities 💚

New York state has so many wonderful places to be New York state has so many wonderful places to be a part of . From the bright lights of NYC, to quiet places of respite in its parks and wooded areas. Time to walk, hike and reflect. Being active and busy is something that I hope my teens learn from and something we can do together to enjoy all the beauty and nature it has to offer while keeping NY tobacco free. Did you know that our oldest generation of smokers are now dying? After them, you have me and a very large group of people who do not smoke at all. So, who’s next? Instead of taking cigarettes off the shelves, the tobacco industry views today’s teens as tomorrow’s customers, using menthol-flavored products to attract and addict kids – and it’s working. More than half (54%) of youth who smoke (ages 12-17 years) use menthol cigarettes. making it easier for kids to start and harder for them to quit. Menthol is not JUST a flavor, it attracts and addicts kids As a teen mom, I am sharing this so we can all take action! Learn more about the impact of Big Tobacco’s manipulative tactics on our communities and how you can take action to help end this injustice. Let’s keep our kids enjoying the wonderful things our state has to offer. Link in bio #NotJustMenthol #TobaccoFreeNYS #ad @tobaccofreenys
