Over this past weekend, Reagan Facius of Boy Scout Troop 195, celebrated the completion of his Eagle Scout Project with the VFW Post 7530! Over 9 months and 150 hours from the planning stages to the construction, and finally, the completion. Many family members, friends, Scouts of Troop 195, and members of the VFW Post 7530, came out for the ribbon cutting and to help Reagan celebrate his accomplishment. In Reagan's own words, "This Eagle Scout project has helped me to become a better Boy Scout, JROTC Cadet, and overall, a better person.”

Congratulations to the Cadettes of Troop 11523 (Kiara Becker, Evie & Lily Dryden, Madison Facius, and Zarifa Gamble), on earning their Silver Award!! Way to go girls!!

Girl Scout Troop 11523 Cadettes (Kiara Becker, Evie Dryden, Lily Dryden, Madison Facius, and Zarifa Gamble) have been working on their Silver Award. They wanted to help create awareness among the student body at Saint Joseph School, and beyond, of the possible dangers that the use of plastic water bottles could have on the environment. This idea came to the girls when Saint Joseph School installed refillable water stations throughout the school last year. The girls took their idea and ran with it; creating a video and posters, which were in turn were laminated, to be hung near the water stations around the school. Check out their videoWay to go Girls!!!
