This Week's Theme: Donate Your Time, Talents & Treasures

Inspired by President Barack Obama, our troop began with a spirit of making change in our community.  We've continued that spirit by renewing our philanthropic efforts.  As philanthropists, we donate our time, talents and treasures for the common good.

Daisies

Brownies

Juniors & Cadettes
Today's lesson reminded us that just as each star in the sky makes up the universe, each Girl Scout is a shining star and can make a positve difference through contributing to the common good.  With Miss Donna, the Daisies worked together to draw a picture that represented how each girl can come together to do something beautiful.  With Miss Regina and Miss Stacey, the Brownies read the lyrics to Katy Perry's song Firework and decorated stars to represent the many ways they help their community.  With Miss Jodi, the Juniors/Cadettes discussed issues that they care about and ways that they can improve their world.

What's In Your Pocket?

Miss Donna teaches the girls about Girl Scouts.
At our first meeting, Miss Donna, Troop #3027's Education Coordinator, taught the girls a new song that each girl will sing at the beginning of each meeting!  Here are the lyrics so you can practice at home:

I've got something in my pocket
It belongs across my face
I keep it very close to me
In a most convenient place
I'm sure you couldn't guess it
If you guessed a long, long while
I'll take it out and put it on
It's a great big Girl Scout smile!
 

Watch this video of Troop #325 singing it Brownie style!

Meet Our Troop Leaders: Miss Donna


Troop Leader Donna is in charge of planning and teaching all of the wonderful lessons we learn during our meetings! She makes sure that learning takes place at every meeting. It makes sense that she's our education coordinator because she's a teacher!

Miss Donna has a pet turtle, named Lucy! She is originally from Rochester, New York and has been teaching in New York City Public Elementary Schools for over 13 years. "It's a lot of fun teaching these group of girls", says Miss Donna. "I love being able to teach indoors and do an art activity one day, then take a trip to someplace exciting the next."

The Harlem Girl Scouts (Troop #3027) has been to a many different places. The troop has visited Victoria Gardens Amusement Park in Central Park, gone fishing on the Hudson River near 125th Street, and touched butterflies at the Museum of Natural History in Manhattan.

Thank you, Miss Donna, for bringing your expertise to the Harlem Girl Scouts!
