Thursday morning is Torah reading, and this particular Thursday morning is the one I've been coaching my bat mitzvah student towards. They have tefillah class in school which serves the dual function of the Act of Collective Worship beloved of schools and also teaches the kids how to navigate the prayer book.*
And she was completely gorgeous and read most beautifully and they had a chuppah which they hold over baz mitzvah kids, and her friends held the poles, and her teacher said nice things about her, and she was just utterly and completely lovely. Such a yummy kid.
* From a pedagogical point of view, it's rather interesting; they build the service up from the central features outwards year by year, until they're doing basically a full service by the time the kids are bnei mitzvah.
