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!!!
