Our Girls Are Considerate And Caring

Our girls have made a promise to help people at all times and they are learning ways to be considerate and caring.  "For the next six weeks, until December 14th, we're going to support a very good cause - cancer research, patient support and advocacy", announced Miss Donna.  "So, start collecting pennies at home and at school".

Each year we participate in service learning projects!  We learn by helping.  The girls were asked to bring in pennies to donate to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Organization!  Many of us have family members who have been diagnosed with cancer.  Last year, we supported a local school in donating more than $400!  Click here to see a blog post from the Duke Ellington School!  With so much success, we decided to do it again this year.

It's All About Me!

At today's meeting, each girl was given time to share information about themselves. After Circle Time, Dasies met with Miss Donna to discuss parts of the Girl Scout Promise written in our Activity Books. "I say sorry to my friends", said Kori during a discussion on what it means to be considerate. Miss Shevy and Miss Regina gave the Brownies a chance to share their thoughts and feelings. Miss Stacey and Miss Jodi allowed the Cadettes and Juniors to talk about things they like to do.

Journals were the activity for the day! Each girl was given five sheets of colored oak tag paper, pencils, markers, and tons of stickers! They wrote sentences and drew pictures about:

1. their favorite subjects in school
2. their favorite things to do at home
3. what they like to do outside
4. how they would describe themselves (personality page)

The girls were told to bring photographs to add to their journals at our next meeting.
